What gas will put a candle out?

If oxygen's excluded, any. As fire needs oxygen to burn, if it lacks this, it won't burn.


What gas would make a candle burn for longer?

Usually oxygen, primarily because it is how fire is made. But for longer, there isn't a possible way to make it burn 'longer' with gas, but more rather use wax and string that are more durable to fire. Or alternatively you can put a plant near the fire (out of burning range) to give the fire as much oxygen as possible. hope it helps


Why a candle brought near the mouth of a jar containing hydrogen gas starts burning but is extinguished when pushed inside the jar?

When the candle is brought near the mouth of the jar containing hydrogen gas, the hydrogen gas reacts with oxygen in the air to produce water vapor and heat, allowing the candle to burn. However, when the candle is pushed inside the jar, the available oxygen is quickly used up by the candle flame, leading to oxygen depletion and eventual extinguishment of the flame.


Which burns at the hottest temperature Wood Natural gas candle?

Natural gas burns at a hotter temperature compared to wood and candles. Wood generally burns around 600-900 degrees Celsius, while natural gas can burn at temperatures exceeding 1,000 degrees Celsius. Candles burn at a lower temperature compared to both wood and natural gas.


What gases do candles give off when burning?

Air is mostly Nitrogen, but that is not the "burning" part; Oxygen is probably what you are looking for, as that is the part that helps the candle burn, without there would be no fire. Or maybe you are looking for Carbon dioxide, that is what burning candles (which are mostly carbon) produces. What gas causes a candle to burn? Oxygen. It is the oxygen in the atmosphere that chemically combines with the wax of the candle to give Carbon dioxide gas and water vapor. What does candle need from air to burn? A candle requires oxygen (O2) to continue its combustion reaction and produce CO2 and H2O.

What makes a white and colored candle burn?

Not depending on the color, it's always the wax that lets the candle burn. Near the flame, the wax melts until its gaseous and this paraffin gas is burned.

A candle will not burn in outer space even if supplied with oxygen why?

It's too cold. The strange thing about candles is that the solid candlewax does not burn. It evaporates and the gas burns.
