ANSWER: Â Janice's observation that is explained by Hypothesis I but not by Hypothesis II is that shortly after the candle was covered by the glass beaker, the flame diminished and soon went out.
REASONING:
Hypothesis I mentions oxygen as an important part of the chemical reaction that causes certain objects to burn. Â By placing the glass beaker over the candle, the oxygen supply is cut off. Â Once the oxygen inside the beaker is consumed, the flame diminishes and goes out.
Hypothesis II does not mention oxygen as an important part of the chemical reaction.
