Burning is a very common chemical operation that we see every day ………………..………….………….………….………
What did you use?
in our kitchens, companies, and even schools. To test the hypothesis that
says: "Burning takes place only if there is Oxygen (O2)", we use the Observation ………………..………….………….………….………
classical laboratory experiment of burning a candle in a cup. What do you observe? ………….………….………….………….………….

Why does the flame go out when you cover the candle with the cup? Result ………………..………….………….………….………
To carry out this experiment, we need to go through the following steps:
Is the experiment ………….………….………….………….………….
First, you should bring the following materials: a confirmed?
candle, a lighter, and a transparent cup. Next,
use the lighter to light the candle. After that, Activity 04: Read the text again and answer the following questions.
take the cup and cover the burning candle. In a 1) What is the main condition of this experiment?
few seconds, you will observe that the flame of → …………………………………………………………………………………
the candle goes out. ………………………………………………………………………..……
The question that you may ask is how does this happen. The answer 2) What do you notice when you cover the candle?
is, that if the candle burns, it produces Carbon Dioxide (CO2), and due to → …………………………………………………………………………………
the absence of Oxygen (O2) inside the cup, the flame eventually goes out.
…………………………………………………………………..…………
This experiment confirms the hypothesis that says burning takes place
3) Why does the flame go out?
only when there is Oxygen.

A/ Name the following pictures using the appropriate words below. “The Egg in a Bottle Experiment”
- Use the text “The experiment of burning a candle” as a model.
A paper - A lighter – A boiled egg – A bottle

or oxygen with the liberation of heat and light. It is very common in our
kitchens, companies, and even schools.
