The Baking Soda and Vinegar

We put baking soda inside a container and poured vinegar inside the container. It was foaming up really high. Then we lit a candle and put it inside the container and it blew out. The candle blew out because the baking soda and vinegar produced carbon dioxide. Fire does not stay lit when a container has carbon dioxide in it and you put the fire inside it and ' BAMMM!' it's out.
      Next, we put ethyl alcohol inside a container and we put a match inside it. The match went out because there wasn't any oxygen inside the container. Then, we added more ehtyl alcohol inside it and it still went out. If we wanted the candle to stay lit we should've put oxygen inside it so, it could stay as fire and light up. Next, we tried it and 'boom' the fire went inside the container. Then, we cheered and were very happy.
