The apparatus in the diagram can be used to investigate the decrease in the volume of gas
when magnesium burns in air.

magnesium
ribbon air
bell jar
basin
water
The stopper is removed and the magnesium is lit. The stopper is then quickly replaced.
After the flame goes out there is some magnesium left in the basin.
After the apparatus has cooled to its original temperature, the water level in the bell jar
is higher than shown in the diagram.
