What happens when you put a glass jar on a candle example?
the candle will go out because oxygen helps in burning but a burning substance produces carbon dioxide but when we put a glass upon can carbon will heavier than oxygen and when oxygen will less candle will go out
How will the size of a closed jar affect the burning time of a candle?
Because, if there is a candle in a closed jar it will almost immediately go out. This is because fires cannot be lit without oxygen, and with a closed jar, no oxygen can come in. The fire eats up all of the oxygen, causing it to go out if not quickly exposed to oxygen.
When a candle burns wax undergoes a combustion reaction would a candle burn longer in the open or when covered with an inverted glass jar?
The candle burning in the open will burn longer, because it has easy access to oxygen to sustain the reaction. The flame of the candle burning under the jar will go out quickly, since it will use up its available oxygen faster than the oxygen can be replenished. Even if the jar is open at the bottom, the heat, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide produced by the flame will prevent sufficient oxygen from getting to the flame to feed it.
How would mass change if you place a burning candle in a sealed container?
When a fire is lit in a sealed container it is very likely to cause an explosion because of the build up of internal pressure from smoke.
What happens when you put a glass jar on a candle?
a flame needs oxygen to burn so if you put a lit candle in a closed container (like a jar) the oxygen will continue to fuel the fire until there is no more oxygen and the candle will go out
What is possible explanation as to why the candle went out?
The candle could go out if there is a strong draught of air, or if all the oxygen is used up by a candle burning in a sealed container.

What happen if a big and a small burning candle is covered with a big jar?
Once the oxygen was used up, both candles would go out.

Why does a candle go out when a jar is put over?
The candle consumes all the oxygen in the confined space and burns out
What happens when you put a lid over a lit candle?
Fire dies out because a constant supply oxygen is needed to keep a fire burning. When then oxygen is removed, the fire burns the remaining oxygen until it is all gone. Normally when fire has a good supply of oxygen it give of Carbon dioxide. However without enough oxygen it gives Carbon monoxide as the oxygen is used up. When there is virtually no oxygen left, the fire goes out.

How long does it take for a candle to go out in a bell jar?
1 to 5 minutes
What happens when you put a glass jar on a candle?
a flame needs oxygen to burn so if you put a lit candle in a closed container (like a jar) the oxygen will continue to fuel the fire until there is no more oxygen and the candle will go out
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.
Why does a candle go out in a bell jar?
It doesn't get any oxygen and therefore the flame goes out
