INTRODUCTION
We will show how the sail can make the water rise upwards.
JUSTIFICATION
This work is carried out with the interest of knowing the function of atmospheric pressure
and the combustion of the candle that consumes oxygen.
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this experiment is to explain the combustion process in the presence and
absence of air.
THEORY
WHAT IS ENERGY?
It is the capacity of matter that works in the form of movement, light, heat, etc.
WHAT IS COMBUSTION?
It is a process of rapid oxidation of a substance, accompanied by an increase in heat and
often light.
WHAT IS AIR?
Air is the mixture of gases that makes up the Earth's atmosphere, held around the Earth
by the force of gravity.
WHAT IS WATER?
It is a liquid substance without odor, color, or taste that is found in nature in a more or
less pure state.
WHAT IS ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE?
It is the force exerted by atmospheric air on the earth's surface.
PASCAL'S PRINCIPLE
Pascal's principle is applied in hydrostatics to reduce the forces that must be applied in
certain cases.
WHY DOES OXYGEN RUN OUT?
By enclosing the candle in the glass, the oxygen is consumed because the fire uses it to
continue burning; when the oxygen runs out, the flame goes.
The scientific process: THE RISIN WATER.
Question:
¿Will the water rise?
Hypothesis:
1. We think went we put the jar over the candle, the flame will go out.
2. We think when the flame goes out the water will rise up.
Necessary materials:
A clear bottle or jar
Pitcher of water
A deep plate
elongated candle
Matches or lighter
Liquid coloring (optional)
Procedure:
1. Place the candle in the plate.
2. Pour the water to the plate.
3. Mix the coloring with the water.
4. Light the candle with a math.
5. Put tha jar over the candle.
Explanation:
The most common explanation for this phenomenon is that the candle consumes oxygen
and generates carbon dioxide and water vapor. When the candle goes out, the air inside
the bottle cools and contracts, decreasing the pressure. As a result, water from the dish
enters the bottle to compensate for this decrease in pressure, causing the water to rise.
However, other authors have questioned this explanation, suggesting that the change in
the chemical composition of the gases and the condensation of water vapor also play an
important role in the process. In particular, the chemical reaction of the candle paraffin
with oxygen produces carbon dioxide and water, which could increase the pressure rather
than decrease it. In addition, the expansion of the gas when the candle is lit and its
contraction when it is extinguished can also influence the pressure.
Conclusion:
The candle and water rising through a bottle experiment is an example of how
atmospheric pressure can influence the behavior of fluids. Although the most common
explanation is that the decrease in pressure as the candle goes out causes the water to rise,
other factors may also be involved. This experiment is a good example of how science
can be fun and accessible, and how we can learn about natural phenomena using simple
materials and careful observations.
