Question

A flame in a sealed container will go out. Explain what you know about combustion reactions to explain why.

Answer 1

Answer:

A combustion reaction is a reaction that involves a substance and oxygen reacts at high temperature and produces light energy and thermal energy and generate light and heat.

If a flame is in a sealed container it will go out due to the absence of oxygen to perform a combustion reaction that requires oxygen to produce heat and light. A flame is the result of a combustion reaction which also requires the oxygen to keep on burning.
