This demonstration actually works better when the mothballs are added to a clear soda drink (e.g. 7-Up).
The mothballs by themselves are just a little bit denser than the liquid, so they sink to the bottom. As carbon dioxide bubbles accumulate on the outside of the mothballs they eventually become buoyant and slowly rise to the top. While at the top the bubbles break and the mothballs sink again.
This will repeat until the liquid runs out of carbon dioxide.
As the mothballs are not soluble in water, if you use a clear soda drink you can still drink it when you are done (after removing the mothballs so you won't risk swallowing one and choking), but it of course will be somewhat "flat".

What happens when vinegar is added to baking powder?
What can happen if baking soda and vinegar mix?
What happens to the temperature when vinegar is added to baking soda?
When vinegar is added to baking soda, a chemical reaction occurs that produces carbon dioxide gas. This reaction is exothermic, meaning it releases heat, causing a slight increase in temperature.
What can be added to vinegar to create a reaction?
Everybody knows that baking soda and vinegar make a reaction similar to a volcano
When vinegar is added to baking sodabubbles of carbon dioxide gas form that is a?
it is cemical reaction
When you add baking soda to vinegar the mixture fizzes as carbon dioxide is produced Suppose you added water to the vinegar before you mixed it with the baking soda what do you think will happen?
It will still fizz, but fizz less the more water is added to the vinegar (acid) solution. Vinegar is already a diluted solution of acetic acid, and is mostly water.
Chemical properties of baking soda?
baking soda reacts with vinegar to produce sodium acetate and carbon dioxide
What happens if the baking soda is added by acetate?
it bubbles
What happens when baking soda is added to oil with water?
The baking soda dissolves in the water
When vinegar is added to baking powder which contains a carbonate what gas is given off?
co2: carbon monoxide xxx
What will happen if someone mixxes red cabbage in a blender and then added some water and baking soda and vinegar?
You will get a frothy red mess. The baking soda and vinegar will combine to produce carbon dioxide as the acid in the vinegar combines with the base in the baking soda. The red cabbage will will make it colorful, and the water will slow the reaction. On the other hand, red cabbage and vinegar will make a nice pickled cabbage.
What happens when white vinegar is added to a crushed shell?
99 % of the shell is dissolved.
What happens when vinegar are added to water?
When vinegar is added to water, the vinegar dissolves in the water, since vinegar is primarily acetic acid dissolved in water. This solution may lower the pH of the water, making it more acidic.
