Why is fire not considered to be matter?

Fire is not considered matter because it is a product of a chemical reaction that releases energy in the form of heat and light. Fire is a process, not a substance, so it does not have mass or take up space like traditional forms of matter.


Why does fire shrink things?

Fire can cause materials to shrink because it can remove moisture from them, causing them to lose mass and volume. The heat from the fire can also cause some materials to contract or warp as their molecular structure changes.


When is the Law of Conservation of Mass valid?

This law is ALWAYS valid. Though the only way it is really obvious is in chemical reactions. When two chemicals react, some people used to think that it was destroying the materials (IE fire), though if you were to gather EVERYTHING from the reaction (in the case of fire, the gas, the ash, etc...) it would have EXACTLY the same mass as before.


Can fire consider as a matter?

Fire is not considered matter in the traditional sense as it is a form of energy produced by a chemical reaction. Matter is typically defined as anything that has mass and occupies space, whereas fire is a rapid oxidation process that releases energy in the form of heat and light.


How would mass change if you place a burning candle in a sealed container?

The mass would remain the same. In a sealed container, the products of burning (such as soot and water vapor) are not able to escape, so the mass inside the container would stay constant due to the law of conservation of mass.
