Chapter 15 - Air Around Us Exercise 153
To prove that air (oxygen) supports burning, we would be requiring the following things:
Two shallow beakers, two candles and two glasses of unequal size.
Procedure:
i. Take two shallow beakers.
ii. Fix burning candles in each and label them as A and B.
iii. Fill both the beakers with a small amount of water.
iv. Cover Candle A with small glass and candle B with long glass.
Observation:
Candle A will blow out first in comparison to candle B because the content of air in small glass was less in comparison to long glass. Also water level will rise in both the glasses.
Conclusion:
This proves that air (oxygen) is necessary for burning.
