PURPOSE OF THE WORK  Observe atmospheric pressure
THE RISING WATER
PROBLEM STATEMENT
Atmospheric pressure:It is the force
exerted by atmospheric air on the
Earth's surface.
When the candle is lit, the pressure
inside the glass as well as outside it is
the same, when it goes out, all the
oxygen in the glass is consumed,
having a sudden change, where the
external pressure is greater than the
internal pressure, so the water enters.
 Find out why by putting the water on the set
Experiment with atmospheric
pressure
1-What happens to the candle
after placing the glass to what is
this phenomenon due?
The candle goes out, because when
you put the glass, the combustion of
the candle consumes the oxygen
inside the base, causing the candle
to go out.
2-Why does the water rise
through the small glass, to what
is this phenomenon due?
The water rises through the small
glass because the atmospheric
pressure in the glass sucks the
water.

OBJECTIVES
and the lit candle, putting the glass on the
candle turns off the fire.
 Study the combustion of a candle, see how
necessary the presence of oxygen is for
combustion and how this oxygen is
consumed in the process.
FUNCTIONING
When a candle burns, part of the
substances that make up the candle
combine with a component of air. That part
of the substances that make up the candle
are involved in combustion is obvious,
because the candle is consumed. That a
component of air is involved in combustion
is demonstrated in the series of activities
that follow.
The candle is covered with a tall beaker,
creating a combustion chamber.
The water that covers the inverted mouth of the
container prevents more air from entering the
chamber. Note that as the candle burns, the
colored water rises in level in the combustion
chamber.

After a few moments, the candle goes out and
the colored water rises to its maximum level. It is
evident that some of the air inside the
combustion chamber has disappeared. The net
amount of gas molecules must have decreased
in the chamber, because there has been a
decrease in pressure, evidenced by the rise of
colored water, pushed by atmospheric pressure,
which was no longer compensated by air
pressure in the combustion chamber. The
chemical reaction that decreases the gas
molecules in the chamber is the burning of the
candle. The gas in the consumed air can be
identified as oxygen. We will see later that
carbon dioxide and water are produced in the
process, with which a chemical equation for
combustion can be formulated.
EXPERIMENTATION
MATERIAL:
1. A deep dish with water2. A candle 3. A narrow
glass
5. A Sheet

PROCESS
1. Fill the plate with water (about two cm deep)
2. Add a dye to the water (optional) 3. We light “THE WATER THAT
the candle and place it inside the plate so that
the water does not touch the flame. We place a GOES UP”
glass on top of the candle. We wait a few
seconds and we see that the flame goes out and
that water enters the glass
CONCLUSIONS
 The key is in the phrase of Avogadro's
hypothesis: at equal pressure and temperature.
When I bring the glass closer to the candle, it
warms the air. Hot air takes up more than cold
air.

When I lower the glass to the plate, the candle
consumes the oxygen and continues to heat the
air and part escapes from the bottom of the
glass; if you look closely, you see bubbles STUDENT
coming out. Oxygen runs out and the air cools.
Since cold air takes up less, water rises.

 The candle goes out a few seconds after
