Best Answer

The acetic acid in vinegar reacts with the baking soda (sodium bicarbonate, a base) to form carbonic acid and sodium acetate. The gas, or carbon dioxide is what makes the balloon inflate. Adding more vinegar will add more reactants going into the reaction, so more gas will be produced and cause the balloon to become more inflated.

Why will baking soda and vinegar fill up a balloon?

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


how does temperature affect the size of-a balloon?

When the temperature is colder the particles in the balloon travel slower, making the balloon not able to increase in size it decreases.When the temperature is hot it allows the balloon to expand because the particles in the balloon are moving rapidly. in conclusion the the cold makes the balloon decrease in size and the heat allows it to expand.

The warmer air is, the faster molecules in the air vibrate, so it makes the balloon bigger. But if you were to take that balloon and freeze it, it would shrink to a third of the size.

yes, because the cooler it gets the slower the particles go in a balloon, so it gets smaller.
