What happens when you put a beaker over a candle and why?
Burning is a process that uses up oxygen. When all the oxygen in the beaker is used up, the candle will go out.
Why does a lit candle go out when a inverted beaker is on it?
When the inverted beaker is placed over the candle, It cuts off the oxygen supply. All flames need oxygen to continue burning.
Why do candles go out when you put a beaker over it?
As we know that for an object or substance to burn, its by means of carbon. Fire is very complex and needs oxygen for it to burn so by putting a beaker over a candle you are actually cutting the consumption of oxygen by fire, which will stop the fire from burning. THAT ANSWER IS FALSE. Because the candle is under a beaker and most beakers have lips the beaker is not fully cut off from oxygen so there is still oxygen. The candle does go out because of the carbon dioxide that is in the beaker
Why would the time to put a candle flame out vary on the size of beaker put over the candle?
Because a larger beaker has more air init than a smaller one, so the candle has more oxygen to feed the flame.
What happens when you light a candle over a cold beaker?
condensation

What will happen to candle in a beaker if carbon dioxide is added?
It'll go out

When you light a candle in a closed beaker why does the flame go out?
Oxygen is needed for burning.When a candle is kept in a closed beaker a certain quantity of air(containing oxygen, other gases too) is trapped. When it is burnt then candle starts using all the oxygen to convert into carbon dioxide and flame goes off.

What happens to the flame of the candle after it was covered by the beaker?
the fire goes off
What is the chemical reaction when you burn a candle inside a glass beaker?
It is an oxydation reaction.
Why is the beaker coverd with watchglass when heating the combine solutions of barium chloride and sodium sulfate solution on a waterbath?
protect the heat effect from the sun
How to measure oxygen using a lit candle?
Remember the percentage of oxygen in the world today is 21%. Get a lit candle and put it on water. Then put a beaker over the lit candle. The water should rise and fill up to 21% of the candle as there is 21% of oxygen in the world.
How long can a candle burn under beakers of different sizes?
This delightfully simple experiment may be used to estimate the percentage of oxygen in the air. Assumption is that all the Oxygen is consumed. Mount candle on a small watchglass floating on water, light the candle, and place an inverted beaker over the whole to create a water seal. Measure the rise of the water inside the beaker.
