the candle uses up the oxygen and in doing so creates carbon dioxide. Eventually there will be more carbon dioxide than oxygen and it will snuff out the flame

What would happen if you lower a bell jar with the candle inside it withiut any air entering it?
The candle would burn off all the oxygen inside the jar, then the flame would go out as it needs oxygen to burn.
Who used a bell jar candle and a plant to show plants give off something that candles need to burn?
Joesph Priestley
Why does fire rise upwards?
Hot gases have less density than cooler gasses and so they "float" (move upwards). What you see of fire are hot gases that are oxidizing and giving off light.Experiment:An interesting experiment is to put a short candle in a jar with a tight lid. Light the candle and put on the lid, measure the time it takes for the candle to "suffocate".DON'T burn your fingers now!Repeat the experiment but this time as soon as the lid is on tight drop the jar (preferably from over two meters) and see if the flame does not go out much quicker because the hot gasses will not "float" up in the accelerating frame of reference that is the inside of the jar.Make sure the jar does not break by having something soft (a pillow or jumble of rags in a basket) where the jar lands.
Why do candles need oxygen?
YES. The available amount of oxygen in air regulates the candles burn. The oxygen burns with the paraffin wax. Both are consumed. A mix of more oxygen will burn faster and hotter. Rapid oxydation is dangerous.
What would happen if you lower a bell jar with the candle inside it without any air entering it?
it would burn out in few seconds. if you take away the air, you also take away the oxygen in it (the air). and fire need oxygen to burn. simple explanation (sorry for bad spelling, I'm danish)
How does the size of the jar affect the burning time of a candle?
The Smaller the jar the less oxygen, the bigger the jar the more oxygen, and since the candle lives of oxygen the biggest jar with the candle in it will take the longest to burn.
Does the temperature of a candle jar inhibit growth of psychrotrophs What is the average temperature inside candle jar and how long does it take flame to burn out?
The temperature of a candle jar inhibits the growth of psychrotrophs, and the average temperature inside the candle jar is 30 degrees Fahrenheit.
Can you burn a candle inside a jar?
For a short time with the lid on or for much longer with the lid off.
If a plant and a burning candle are placed under a bell jar will the candle burn?
no it will not it needs carbon dioxide to burn, without it theres no way the candle will be able to burn
Will a candle burn longer in a large jar then a small jar?
In a large jar as there should be more oxygen.
Why the candle could not burn when gas left in the jar?
to burn, the candle requires oxygen therefore there must of been no oxygen
What is the relationship between the size of the jar and the time taken for the candle to go of?
I assume you are thinking about a situation where the jar is airtight.In this case, a larger jar will have more air in it, and therefore more oxygen; the candle will be able to burn longer in a larger jar. I would expect the time it burns to be roughly proportional to the volume of the jar.

How an anaerobic atmosphere can be created in a jar?
If you burn a candle in the jar, it will use the oxygen as fuel and turn it into carbon dioxide. When the candle stops burning, the oxygen is gone.
What would happen if you lower a bell jar with the candle inside it withiut any air entering it?
The candle would burn off all the oxygen inside the jar, then the flame would go out as it needs oxygen to burn.
Will a candle burn twice as longer in an inverted liter jar than in a half-liter jar?
Yes. There is twice as much oxygen in a liter jar.
What will happen if you put a jar over a burning candle?
the candle would eventually burn out because it needs oxygen to keep the flame going and when the jar is on top, no oxygen is getting to the fire
