1 to 5 minutes
It doesn't get any oxygen and therefore the flame goes out
In Priestley's bell jar experiment, a lit candle is placed inside a bell jar, which is then sealed. As the candle burns, it consumes oxygen and produces carbon dioxide, leading to a decrease in oxygen levels within the jar. Eventually, the flame extinguishes due to insufficient oxygen for combustion. This experiment demonstrated the importance of oxygen for burning and laid the groundwork for understanding gases in respiration.
No, the candle will not burn because the flame will consume the oxygen inside the bell jar, creating a vacuum and extinguishing the flame. Oxygen is necessary for combustion to occur, and without it, the candle cannot burn.
The duration a candle stays lit in an upturned jar depends on factors like the size of the candle, the amount of oxygen available for it to burn, and the quality of the wick. In general, a candle may struggle to stay lit for more than a few minutes in an upturned jar due to limited airflow.
The Smaller the jar the less oxygen, the bigger the jar the more oxygen, and since the candle lives of oxygen the biggest jar with the candle in it will take the longest to burn.
The temperature of a candle jar inhibits the growth of psychrotrophs, and the average temperature inside the candle jar is 30 degrees Fahrenheit.

It is not a truly anaerobic system because there is still some oxygen in the candle jar.
it would burn out in few seconds. if you take away the air, you also take away the oxygen in it (the air). and fire need oxygen to burn. simple explanation (sorry for bad spelling, I'm danish)
As the candle burns, it consumes oxygen and releases carbon dioxide. If the bell jar is sealed, the oxygen inside gets used up and the candle flame will eventually extinguish once oxygen levels drop too low to sustain combustion. The remaining air will become enriched with carbon dioxide from the burning candle.
The total mass of the jar and its contents remains the same after the candle goes out, as long as nothing is added or removed from the jar. The mass is conserved in a closed system.
The events in "The Bell Jar" by Sylvia Plath take place in the early 1950s, specifically in 1953 and 1954.
