In experiment #7, you observed the formation of carbon dioxide by reacting baking soda with vinegar.  Why was it not possible to relight the candle? A. Carbon dioxide is heavier than air so it stays in the beaker preventing the candle from relighting. B. Carbon dioxide is lighter than air so it escaped from the beaker and the candle should have relit. C. Carbon dioxide is heavier than air so it stays in the beaker and the candle should have relit. D. Carbon dioxide is lighter than air so it escaped from the beaker preventing the candle from relighting
