Will a candle burn longer in a large jar then a small jar?
In a large jar as there should be more 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.
Why would a candle burn longer in the open other than in a glass jar?
If the glass jar is sealed, there is a limited amount of oxygen within it. Fire uses oxygen to stay alive. Once it uses up the limited amount of oxygen in the glass jar, it can no longer sustain flame. However, in the open, there is a theoretically unlimited amount of oxygen.
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 should the total mass of the jar and its contents be after the candle goes out?
100
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.
If a candle was bigger than a plant would the candle stay lit longer if they were both sealed in a glass jar?
Yes Yes
Will a candle burn longer in a large jar then a small jar?
In a large jar as there should be more oxygen.
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.
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.
Does a candles flame last longer in a smaller or bigger container?
Bigger jar,why?
Can you burn a candle inside a jar?
For a short time with the lid on or for much longer with the lid off.
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 long does it take for a candle to go out in a bell jar?
1 to 5 minutes
What is the relationship between the size of the jar and the time taken for the candle to go off?

Is a candle jar anaerobic?
It is not a truly anaerobic system because there is still some oxygen in the candle jar.
What is the function of candle jar?
A candle jar in microbiology is used for anaerobiosis in which a lit candle is placed in an air tight jar and if it went out, it would be because it used up all the available oxygen.
