How much baking soda do you put in a baking soda volcano?

Answer 1

Step 1

Set the water bottle on the cardboard square and pour 1/4 cup baking soda into the bottle.

Step 2

Use the clay to create a volcano-shaped mound around the water bottle. Keep the structure on the cardboard square, and be sure to leave a hole at the top around the mouth of the water bottle.

Step 3

Add small tree structures or rivers and lakes if you want to make it look authentic.

Step 4

Add 1/4 cup vinegar to the mouth of the volcano. The baking soda and vinegar will have a chemical reaction, and the volcano will "erupt." Don't worry, it's not an explosion, just a stream of baking soda lava that will flow out of the top of the volcano.

Things You'll Need:

• Brown clay
• Water bottle
• 1/4 cup baking soda
• 1/4 cup vinegar
• Red food coloring
• Cardboard square (10 by 10 inches)

Answer 2

• The baking soda and vinegar volcano erupts because of an acid-base reaction:

Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) + vinegar (acetic acid) --> carbon dioxide + water + sodium ion + acetate ion (carbon dioxide gas)

- carbon dioxide tries to escape the container in the same way as if you would shake a soda can and open it.

Answer 3

1Collect together materials that you will need to make a model of a volcano: plastic bottle (no more than 1 litre in size), paper, card, paint or colours. Also bicarb of soda and vinegar red food colouing may also be useful to make it look like magma/lava

Then in the bottle add your bicarb soda and vinegar then run.

To make a better better explosion use cheap vinegar as it is often more acidic.

Dont know why it amkes a volcano though.

Answer 4

1. Take an empty 2L plastic container and place it in the centre of your cardboard/wood base;
2. Build a paper mashe volcano around it;
3. Place 2 tablespoons of baking soda in the bottle;
4. Add 1L of water and food colouring as desired (red is recommended);
5. Add vinegar for 'erruption'.

Answer 5

ok take your clay then use 1-2 a gallon of vinagar and 2 pounds of baking soda have a good time cleaning tha up!!! i recommend that you do it out side

Answer 6

If you put to much baking soda in it will explode and get a huge mess every where... wait thats not the question, you put 2 teaspoons in it!!
