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 hardest candle to blow out?

A trick birthday candle, also known as a magic candle or a never-ending candle, is designed to relight itself after being blown out. It can be challenging to extinguish because it surprises the person trying to blow it out.


What substance was produced by the mint plant in Joseph priestlys 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 Book will help you find out which will burn faster a colored or white candle?

A science experiment book or a resource on candle making may provide information on the burning rates of colored and white candles. Conducting a simple experiment at home by burning both candles simultaneously and observing the duration of burning can also provide firsthand insight into their burn rates.


You burnt a yellow candle a blue candle a green candle a black candle a white candle and a red candle and the blue burnt the fastest why is that?

Working at a 100 year old Candle Company, ColonialCandle.com, I asked the candle making team of experts. When we have done this experiment using taper candles, the white candle should burn the fastest as there are no colorants to impede the capillary action of the wax through the wick. That is making sure that all things are equal in the candle make up such as wick, and wax. Unless of course , the white candle has an optical bleach in it to have the illusion of being more white. The optical bleach is a pigment and would cause the rate of consumption to be less. Only thing to add is a darker candle can sometimes burn faster because a dark color holds more heat and can cause the candle to burn slightly faster. But your point of all things being equal is the most important factor.

Why can you relight a candle from the smoke?

When you relight a candle from the smoke, it is because the smoke contains unburned carbon particles that can reignite when exposed to a flame.

What did Joseph Priestly contribute to the discovery of photosynthesis by using a candle?

he put the candle in a tube until it burnt out, then placed a mint sprig in the tube. 27 days later he lit the candle again using sunlight and it burnt perfectly leading him to believe that the mint replaced whatever was lost when the candle was burning.


What experiment did Joseph Priestley do with mints and candles?

Joseph Priestley conducted an experiment where he placed mint leaves in a closed space along with a burning candle. He noticed that the mint leaves released a substance that kept the candle burning brighter and longer than usual, later identified as oxygen. This experiment contributed to Priestley's discovery of the process of photosynthesis.


Who used a bell jar candle and a plant to show plants give off something that candles need to burn?

Joseph Priestley used a candle and a plant under a bell jar to show that plants release oxygen, which is essential for combustion, allowing the candle to burn. This experiment demonstrated the process of photosynthesis, where plants convert carbon dioxide into oxygen using light energy.

What is the principle used in water candle experiment?

The principle used in the water candle experiment is the concept of capillary action, where the water is drawn up the wick of the candle due to adhesion and cohesion forces. As the flame burns, the heat evaporates the water causing it to rise through the wick and fuel the candle's flame.

How do magic relight birthday candles work and where can I find them?

Magic relight birthday candles work by having a small amount of magnesium in the wick that reignites the candle after it is blown out. You can find them at party supply stores, online retailers, and some grocery stores in the birthday section.
