As we know that for an object or substance to burn, its by means of carbon. Fire is very complex and needs oxygen for it to burn so by putting a beaker over a candle you are actually cutting the consumption of oxygen by fire, which will stop the fire from burning.

THAT ANSWER IS FALSE. Because the candle is under a beaker and most beakers have lips the beaker is not fully cut off from oxygen so there is still oxygen. The candle does go out because of the carbon dioxide that is in the beaker

What happens when you put a beaker over a candle and why?

Putting a beaker over a candle can create a seal that limits the oxygen supply to the flame, causing it to extinguish due to lack of oxygen. This is because fire needs oxygen to sustain combustion, and by covering the flame, you are essentially cutting off its supply.

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.

What invention did loki beaker obtain a secret patent in sims 2psp?

I don't remember exactly, but I know how to find it. Go into the Beakers' house, and go into the nearest door on the left. There should be a wardrobe. Go over to it, and press the option that says "examine". After your sim looks at the wardrobe for a while and then stops (you might get a popup, ignore this), then go over to Circe Beaker- the one with dark skin and red hair- and talk to her.

Why does the inside of a beaker go misty?

The mistiness inside a beaker can be due to condensation of water vapor when the temperature of the beaker is different from the surrounding air. This can occur when a warm beaker comes in contact with cooler air, causing water vapor in the air to condense on the inner surface of the beaker.
