Basically, the oxygen supply in the tube falls much more quickly than carbon dioxide builds up from the flame's smoke. When the smoke increases sufficiently and little oxygen is left, the flame runs out of fuel to continue its reaction and, in doing so, burns out.

What energy comes from burning a match?

The energy that comes from burning a match is in the form of heat and light. The chemical reaction between the matchstick and oxygen releases energy in the form of a flame.


Why the candles stays alight even when you take the match away?

The primary fuel source of a burning candle is the wax it is made of. Once the wick of the candle is lit, the flame is sufficiently hot to allow continuing melting, vaporization, and burning of that wax - thus the match is no longer required to keep it lit.


Why does a splint go out with a reaction of sodium carbonate and HCL?

When sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) reacts with hydrochloric acid (HCl), it undergoes a double displacement reaction. Sodium chloride (NaCl) and carbonic acid (H2CO3) are formed as products. Carbonic acid then decomposes into water and carbon dioxide gas. The released carbon dioxide gas causes the fizzing or bubbling commonly observed in this reaction, pushing the splint out due to the pressure buildup.


Is striking a match to a Bunsen burner a chemical reaCTION?

Striking a match initiates a chemical reacftion (burning). The proximity of the Bunsen burner has nothing to do with it.


When a match is burned chemical potential envery is converted to thermal and what energy?

When a match is burned, chemical potential energy is converted into thermal energy and light energy. The heat produced through the burning process ignites the match, and as the match burns, it emits light energy in the form of a flame.

Is the flame of a match hotter than the flame of a liter?

No, a liter does however burn faster due to the fact that it is burning butane rather than wood.


What energy transformation occurs in a burning match?

In a burning match, the chemical energy stored in the matchstick is converted into heat and light energy through a combustion reaction. The heat energy released causes the matchstick to ignite and sustain a flame, which in turn produces light energy as the carbon particles in the flame glow.


When a person strikes and lights a match potential energy in the match is transformed into which types of energy?

When a person strikes and lights a match, potential energy in the match is transformed into thermal energy (heat), light energy (the flame), and chemical energy (burning of the matchstick).

How can you positively identify hydrogen gas?

Hydrogen gas can be positively identified by its characteristic properties, such as being odorless, colorless, tasteless, and highly flammable when exposed to air. It also produces a "pop" sound when ignited in the presence of oxygen. Additionally, it can be confirmed using tests like the squeaky pop test or the hydrogen flame test.


When you use a match to light a candle multiple of energy occur?

When you use a match to light a candle, a chemical reaction occurs between the match head and the air, producing heat and a flame. This flame melts the candle wax, which is then drawn up the wick and vaporized by the heat, creating more fuel for the flame. The burning candle releases light and heat energy as a result of this continuous combustion process.


Is lighting a candles wick with a match a conduction and convection?

it could be either convection or radiation that can light a candle wick with a match.The match stick does not retain enough heat by itself to light a wick by conduction. The burning match though gives off enough heat to incandesce the air around the match into a flame. By contact of this convective hot gas (flame) with the wick the temperature of the candle wax can be raised to the ignition temperature. By holding the match close to the wick, without the flame contacting it, the radiant heat from the flame can vaporize and ignite the wax as well. The closer the flame to the wick the more radiant heat can be transferred.


How do you check gas to see if it is hydrogen?

Each gas has a different way of testing if it's present, for example if you put a glowing splint in oxygen, the splint should re-light, however if you put the splint in carbon dioxide, it should go out. If you put the splint in hydrogen, you should hear a squeaky pop. To test for chlorine, use a damp blue or red pH paper and put it into the gas, the gas should turn white. Another test for carbon dioxide is lime water. if you put CO2 in lime water, the water should go cloudy.
