The reaction between vinegar and baking soda is that of an acid plus a carbonate.
ACID + BASE --> SALT + WATER + CARBON DIOXIDE
The carbon dioxide causes the balloon to inflate.
The reaction: CH3COOH + NaHCO3 --> CH3COONa + H2O + CO2.

∙ 16y agoThe vinegar (acetic acid) reacts with baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) to for carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide gas is liberated form the liqud to inflate the baloon.

∙ 14y agothe vinegar,which is a weak acid,reacts with the carbonate in the baking soda,thereby producing carbon dioxide,which is a gas,thereby inflating your ballon.

∙ 11y agothe baking soda and vinegar create a chemical reaction which then creates carbon dioxide which is a gas so it inflates the ballon

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)
Is baking soda an alkaline or acid?
Yes. And if you add it too vinigar it makes smoke. You take a balloon and fill 1/5 of it with baking powder. You then only set the top of the balloon around a beaker filled 1/4 of the way with vinegar. Then hold the balloon up right and let the baking powder mix with the vinegar. It will blow up the balloon on it's own. It's actually pretty cool.
What is stronger vinegar or baking powder?
baking soda is a base while vinegar is an acid

What makes a cake rise with baking powder?

Is baking powder fizzing in vinegar a chemical reaction?
Yes
Is mixing baking powder and vinegar a chemical change?
Yes.
Baking powder from your kitchen fizzes when you put it into vinegar?
yes
Give me an example of experiment?
mixing vinegar and baking powder:)
What happens when vinegar is added to baking powder?
What can happen if baking soda and vinegar mix?
What produces more carbon dioxide when mixed with vinegar baking soda or baking powder?
If one is working with equal amounts, baking soda might produce more carbon dioxide when mixed with vinegar, because baking powder is already combined with an acidic ingredient.
What happends when you put baking powder and water together?
It bubbles up, like baking soda and vinegar
