Why is the candle continuously burning, when the mint plant was kept inside the Bell jar ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Because, the mint plant undergoes photosynthesis and liberates oxygen. This oxygen is very essential for lighting of the candle. When candle burns it gives·carbondioxide, which is necessary for plants to perform photosynthesis. Hence, the candle is continuously burning when the mint plant was kept inside the bell jar.
