Answer:
To prove that air supports burning, let's take two lighted candles. ... 2) Put the second candle in open air. After some time, this covered candle gets extinguished and the water level rises up in the glass. 3) This happens because oxygen present inside the air in the glass was used up completely.
Explanation:
- Take a candle and try to burn it in air. Take another candle and try to burn it while keeping it submerged in water. You will observe that, while the candle burns in air; it does not burn in water. This simple activity shows that air support burning.
- The component oxygen of air inside the glass is used up in burning. Therefore, water occupies that space. This shows that air supports burning.
- The gaseous components which do not support combustion are carbon dioxide and nitrogen
