INFLATTING BALOON USING BAKING SODA AND VINEGAR
SIMPLE SCIENCE: BLOWING UP BALLOONS WITH CO2
The science, behind this balloon baking soda experiment, is the
chemical reaction between the base {baking soda} and the acid
{vinegar}. When the two ingredients mix together the balloon baking
soda experiment gets it’s lift!
The gas produced from the two ingredients is carbon dioxide or CO2.
As the gas tries to leave the plastic container, it goes up into the
balloon because of the tight seal you have created. Because the gas
has no where to go and is pushing against the balloon it inflates it!
Similarly, we exhale carbon dioxide when we blow up balloons.
GUIDE QUESTION
1.) What happened when baking soda and vinegar is mixed?
2.) What kind of gas is produced?
3.) What is the direction of gas?
4.) What will happen to a balloon when it is attached to the top of a
bottle containing vinegar and baking soda?
5.) Why does the balloon stop blowing up (why does the reaction stop)?
