If the candle goes out when a glass jar is placed over it, then oxygen is the limiting reactant.

<h3>What is a limiting reactant?</h3>

The limiting reactant is the reactant that is present in the least amount. When the limiting reactant is exhausted, the reaction comes to a halt.

Thus, if the candle goes out when a glass jar is placed over it, then oxygen is the limiting reactant.
