No It Doesn't Matter What Kind Of Vinegar You Use
The "active" part in vinegar is acetic acid. Baking soda (Sodium Bicarbonate) is essentially a solid form of carbon dioxide which will be released in the presence of acid, thus inflating the balloon with primarily carbon dioxide.
It may be difficult to calculate the exact concentration of acetic acid in the vinegar to determine how much vinegar and baking soda to use, but it probably doesn't have to be exact.
Acetic Acid + Sodium Bicarbonate --> Sodium Acetate + Water + Carbon Dioxide.
CH3COOH + NaHCO3 --> CH3COONa + H2O + CO2
Where (H+) + (HCO3-) --> H2CO3 --> H2O + CO2
Vinegar and baking soda inflate a balloon because the vinegar and baking soda cause a chemical reaction making carbon dioxide, inflating the balloon.
A balloon containing vinegar and baking soda will inflate due to the formation of carbon dioxide gas from the chemical reaction between the vinegar and baking soda.
Vinegar is an acid and baking soda is an alkali. If an acid and an alkali react with each other they produce a salt, water and hydrogen gas. the gas produced can be used to inflate the balloon.
If I remember correctly, an escape of CO2
Yes. Mixing vinegar and baking soda releases carbon dioxide (CO2) gas. If you can add the two together and quickly attach a balloon to the container (and close any other openings), the balloon will inflate with CO2
add vinegar to baking soda and collect the carbon dioxide gas produced in a balloon. this is possible in theory, however to inflate a balloon with a gas coming out of a reaction is really more complicated than that.
Ingredients:1 tablespoon of vinegar 1 teaspoon of baking soda16 oz bottle (empty)1 balloon1. Put vinegar in bottle. 2. Put ALL of the baking soda inside balloon. 3. Place balloon on top of bottle.You will see the balloon inflate. Then you will know you created C2o!
When the vinegar mixes with baking soda it produces a gas that will cause the balloon to expand
No.
Yes! if you have too much of one then it cannot completely react but will fill the balloon up 100% comparatively. if you have the right amount then it will not waste a lot and will fill up the balloon 90% comparatively. if you don't add enough of one then you will fill it up a lot less like 50% comparatively. (but one of the ingredients has to be constant)
Yes
The reaction between vinegar and baking soda is that of an acid plus a carbonate.ACID + BASE --> SALT + WATER + CARBON DIOXIDEThe carbon dioxide causes the balloon to inflate.The reaction: CH3COOH + NaHCO3 --> CH3COONa + H2O + CO2.
