The flame will go out, because carbon dioxide removes the oxygen from the area surrounding the flame. Fire requires oxygen to burn, much like humans need oxygen to breath, and similar to carbon dioxide does to humans, the flame will lose its oxygen and go out.

Why does a candle turn of when you put baking soda and vinegar together?

Baking soda and vinegar react to create carbon dioxide, which can't burn. The candle needs oxygen in order to burn, but is surrounded by carbon dioxide and cannot burn.


What gases do candles give off when burning?

Air is mostly Nitrogen, but that is not the "burning" part; Oxygen is probably what you are looking for, as that is the part that helps the candle burn, without there would be no fire. Or maybe you are looking for Carbon dioxide, that is what burning candles (which are mostly carbon) produces. What gas causes a candle to burn? Oxygen. It is the oxygen in the atmosphere that chemically combines with the wax of the candle to give Carbon dioxide gas and water vapor. What does candle need from air to burn? A candle requires oxygen (O2) to continue its combustion reaction and produce CO2 and H2O.


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.


If a plant and a burning candle are placed under a bell jar will the candle burn?

No, the candle will not burn because the flame will consume the oxygen inside the bell jar, creating a vacuum and extinguishing the flame. Oxygen is necessary for combustion to occur, and without it, the candle cannot burn.


How carbon dioxide burn?

Carbon dioxide cannot burn.


What gas will put a candle out?

If oxygen's excluded, any. As fire needs oxygen to burn, if it lacks this, it won't burn.


How can we prove that carbon dioxide is present in the air?

A candle dye out in carbon dioxide.


The substances in paraffin do not chage when a candle burns?

When a candle burns, the paraffin wax reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water vapor. The carbon atoms in the paraffin combine with oxygen from the air to produce heat, light, carbon dioxide, and water. This chemical reaction is why the substances in paraffin change when a candle burns.


Would a large plant and a burning candle placed under a bell jar will the candle burn the plant because of the plant is giving off carbon dioxide?

Yes, the burning candle will use up the oxygen inside the bell jar, leading to a decrease in the oxygen levels. However, plants also require oxygen for respiration, so if the oxygen levels drop too low, both the plant and the candle may eventually be deprived of oxygen and stop burning or respiring, rather than the plant being burned by the candle.


Why do you think that candle with plant would burn for a longer time?

Candle burns oxygen. Plant produces oxygen from Carbon Dioxide. plant produces oxygen, which is burned by candle. Candle lasts longer because more oxygen is present


What gas is released by the candle to make fixed air?

carbon dioxide :p


What sort of fire is a carbon dioxide fire?
