Baking soda (known chemically as "sodium bicarbonate" or NaHCO3) can be mixed with vinegar (a mixture of water and acetic acid, a.k.a. CH3COOH) to inflate a balloon with carbon dioxide (CO2) gas.

The full reaction is:

NaHCO3 + CH3COOH ---> CH3COONa + H2O + CO2(g)

What would be the results of baking soda and vinegar in a balloon?

What will happen to a balloon when it is attached to the top of a bottle containing vinegar and baking soda?

When baking soda and vinegar are mixed,a chemical reaction occurs.A new substance is made.The new substance is carbon dioxide.


Why does the reaction stop so the balloon stops expanding after baking soda and vinegar are mixed?

The reaction between baking soda and vinegar produces carbon dioxide gas. Once all the reactants have been converted to products and no more gas is being produced, the pressure inside the balloon equalizes with the pressure outside, causing the balloon to stop expanding.


What is the analysis of inflating balloon with vinegar and baking soda?

When vinegar (acetic acid) is mixed with baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), a chemical reaction occurs that produces carbon dioxide gas. This gas inflates the balloon as it is released. The reaction can be represented by the equation: NaHCO3 + CH3COOH -> CO2 + H2O + CH3COONa.

What are some projects using baking soda vinegar?

There are a variety of them, but these are most common. - Rocket Bottle - Volcano And the most simple to me would be: This is a very simple project, what you will need is a small water bottle, a balloon (with NO helium inside), vinegar, baking soda. Put vinegar into the water bottle. then take the empty balloon and place an even amount of baking soda into it. then carefully place the balloon (with the baking soda inside) atop of the water bottle, thus letting the baking soda and vinegar react when mixed, and creating carbon dioxide, which makes the balloon deflate. (in other words, making the balloon blow up in action.) its simple a pretty cool. hope this helps. Btw, I'm in fifth grade.
