What experiment could you do to prove that oxygen is needed for burnig?
simply cover a burning candle with a glass to cut off the air, then the candle will burn out
If the gases released by a burning candle could be contained and measured would you see that their mass is the same as the candle's was before it was lit and what law does this example describe?
This experiment is a verification of the law of the conservation of matter. And yes, the mass of all the combustion products would be equal to the mass of the candle and the oxygen it consumed while burning.
What physical changes happen when a candle is lit?
There are many things that physically chance when a candle burns. The wick burns, and turns into ash, and wax of the candle melts and runs down the sides of the candle or container.
How long can a candle burn under beakers of different sizes?
This delightfully simple experiment may be used to estimate the percentage of oxygen in the air. Assumption is that all the Oxygen is consumed. Mount candle on a small watchglass floating on water, light the candle, and place an inverted beaker over the whole to create a water seal. Measure the rise of the water inside the beaker.
How does a mandle candle work?
A new generation of candles! These candles light up from the inside. The patented micro-electronic technology allows the candle to emit a multitude of constantly changing colours throughout the interior of the candle. The power source is an environmentally friendly Lithium battery with a life span of about 20 hours. Come nicely gift boxed with instruction leaflet. Also known as 'Mandle Candles' or 'LED Candles' there are 8 types to choose from. from the mandle candle website. A new generation of candles! These candles light up from the inside.

How did Joseph Priestly relight the candle in his experiment?
He relit the candle with a converging lense or magnifying glass. If the light is directed on the wick of the candle it will relight.
What is the objective of generating electricity from candle?
None, other than doing an interesting experiment.
How do you find the rate at which a candle burns?
you experiment with different types of candles
What substance was produced by mint plants in Joseph Priestley's experiment?
Oxygen was the substance produced by the mint plant. Joseph Priestley enclosed a mint plant in a container, along with a burning candle. After the flame consumed all the oxygen, it went out. Despite the fact that the mint plant was in a closed container, after another 27 days had passed, Priestley was able to reignite the candle. This proved that plants produce oxygen, which is a gas that allows fuels to burn.
What does light produce in the photoelectric effect?
A candle
How does a candle powered hot air balloon work?
Yes, a candle can power up a hot air balloon. But you need a mini one to do the experiment. search hot air balloon experiment on Youtube for videos.
What is made when a candle is burnt?
While the compounds released differ from candle to candle they all produce water vapor and carbon dioxide.
Does the size of a candle affect how fast it will burn?
just do the experiment... but i think so.

Who discovered using a candle and a jar he observed that plants produce a substance that kept the candle burning?
Priestley
How can i explain this experiment if my lecturer i ask me to explain to her?

Example of produce gas in physical change?
burning of candle
