A candle will burn for a very short time without oxygen as it needs oxygen to sustain the combustion process. Once the oxygen supply is depleted, the flame will extinguish quickly.

How long can a candle stay lit in a upturned jar?

The duration a candle stays lit in an upturned jar depends on factors like the size of the candle, the amount of oxygen available for it to burn, and the quality of the wick. In general, a candle may struggle to stay lit for more than a few minutes in an upturned jar due to limited airflow.

Why does a lit candle go out when a inverted beaker is on it?

When an inverted beaker is placed over a lit candle, the flame goes out due to lack of oxygen. As the candle burns, it consumes oxygen and generates carbon dioxide and water vapor. When the beaker is placed over the candle, it creates a closed system, limiting the supply of oxygen needed for combustion, causing the flame to extinguish.
