If I trap air inside of a box underwater and light fire in the trapped air, the fire would consume all oxygen, but what would happen to the left carbon?

Details

Details:

- air is trapped inside of a impermeable box (upside down obviously, because otherwise the air would escape;

- fire will consume ALL oxygen;

- air is in contact with water, but all the water in the tank, pool, sea, bigger box, etc.;

Here's some possible results: (not sure if they can be possible at all)

-water with carbon become carbonic acid, using the water oxygen (?)

-box will crash from pressure (less volume because all oxygen was consumed) leaving the carbon exposed to so much water that no reaction will happen (??)

- if the amount of water that carbon is exposed to is too big, no reaction would happen (?)
