Once you feel the candle has meet its potential to be new place it in a safe area.Take a lighter and light the candle.Enjoy its fragrance.

How do you make a candle tower?

To make a candle tower (if think you mean candle tower as a melted wax tower), it's actually really simple. First, you're going to want a baseboard (I have a cut sheet of plywood as mine) that you wouldn't mind getting a little dirty. As a strong note, this project gets messy over a large area when the wax splatters. Next, you're going to want to get a base to hold the candle (eg. candlestick, old glass bottle, something of that sort). Then you're going to want to get taper candles (any color or height) to stick in the candle stick. Then light the candle! Once the candle has burned down, stick the next one in. From there all you have to do is keep burning more and more candles to your heart's content. Hope that helped! P.S. Watch for overly hot and humid days. Wax does melt when the temperature gets over 95, things will start leaning.

When a burning candle is covered with a glass it get extinguished why?

When a burning candle is covered with a glass, the oxygen within the covered space gets depleted as the flame consumes the available oxygen. Without sufficient oxygen, the candle flame is unable to sustain combustion and gets extinguished.


If you lift the glass tumbler which is placed over a burning candle to 1cm height what hapens?

Lifting the glass tumbler placed over a burning candle to a height of 1cm could disrupt the airflow around the candle, affecting its ability to receive oxygen. This may cause the candle flame to flicker, decrease in size, or even extinguish depending on how much air is allowed to reach the flame.


When a candle is put under a tumbler why its flame goes after some times?

When a candle is put under a tumbler, it consumes the available oxygen inside the tumbler and creates carbon dioxide. As the oxygen is depleted and the concentration of carbon dioxide increases, the flame goes out due to lack of oxygen to sustain combustion.


Why is a burning candle extinguished by a fire extinguisher?

Like any other fire, a burning candle requires fuel, heat, oxygen and a chemical reaction. If you use a fire extinguisher, it typically removes the heat or oxygen from the process, thus stopping the fire.


What will happen if a candle is placed in a basin of water covered with a cup?

If burning, the candle will use up all the oxygen and go out.


What is the identity of the smoke that is released when a candle is extinguished?

The smoke released when a candle is extinguished is primarily composed of unburned hydrocarbons and soot particles. These particles are the byproducts of incomplete combustion of the candle wax and wick materials.


Why did the smoke from the extinguished candle reignite the candle?

because, when the wax is lit it burns off as a vapor, when the candle was extinguished the wax vapor was still in the air, and the wax acts as fuel for the flame of a candle, so the flame combusted and lit the vapor, leading back to the candle wick.


What is a burning candle in the process of transforming?

A burning candle is undergoing a chemical reaction called combustion, where the heat from the flame vaporizes the candle wax. The vaporized wax mixes with oxygen in the air, creating a flame that releases heat and light. This process continues until the wax is fully consumed or the flame is extinguished.


Why does the burning candle go out when we blow on it?

Blowing on the candle increases the rate of oxygen supply, causing the flame to burn more rapidly and use up the available fuel (wax) quicker. Eventually, the flame runs out of fuel and is extinguished.


Why burning candle goes off when it is covered by glass cup?

A burning candle goes off when covered by a glass cup because it uses up the available oxygen in the cup, creating a sealed environment with no oxygen for the flame to continue burning. This causes the flame to extinguish due to the lack of oxygen needed for combustion.


How can show that air support burning?

If you put an enclosed container over a candle, after a few minutes or seconds, the flame will go out. This is because when the candle burns, it releases carbon. The air around the candle contains oxygen. The carbon and oxygen combine forming carbon dioxide. When there is no more oxygen to combine with, the flame goes out.


What happens when a glowing candle is covered with small jar?

it stops burning. This is b'coz there is only a small amount of oxygen in the air inside the jar, so it gradually gets used up, so the candle stops burning
