Priestly experiment:

Experimental setup:

#CASE I- he lit a candel and covered it with a bell jar (which was air tight)

OBSERVATION: He observed that the candel extinguished very quickly

INTERFERENCE- Burning candels damage the air.


#CASE II - He kept a rat inside the bell jar ( air tight)

OBSERVATION- Priestly observed that the rat died, suffocating itself.

INTERFERENCE- Breathing animals damage the air.



#CASE III -He kept a rat, a lIt candel and a mint plant inside the bell jar.

OBSERVATION- He observed that the rat continued to live, and the candle continued to burn.

INTERFERENCE- Plants restore to the pure air whatever breathing animals and burnig candels remove. Plant purify the air which is damaged by breathing of animals and burning of candels.

NOTE:
Later it was confirmed that the pure air refered above is presence of oxygen, and the damage to the air by breathing animals and burning candels refers to the presence/production CO2 .

Explanation:

Priestley observed that a candle burning in a closed space such as a bell jar, soon gets extinguished. ... He focused sunlight beams with a mirror onto the candle wick and was successful in relighting the candle from outside the bell jar without disturbing the experimental set up.
