Baking soda and vinegar is the standard way of making a papier-mache "volcano" for a child's science project.

The reaction between baking soda and vinegar is immediate and can be quite intense. Too much baking soda and too much vinegar can make the "lava" erupt to the ceiling of the classroom!

A fake volcano can explode due to a chemical reaction caused by mixing baking soda and vinegar, which produces carbon dioxide gas. As the gas builds up inside the volcano model, it eventually pushes the mixture outward, creating an eruptive effect that mimics a volcanic explosion.

How much baking soda and vinegar does it take to make a volcano explode?

That really depends on how big your volcano is. If you want a nice big explosion fill your volcano up about 1/3 full with baking soda but measure out how much baking soda you used, then add some food coloring to the vinegar and pour the same amount of vinegar as baking soda into the volcano. REMEMBER: Pour the vinegar in quickly otherwise it will start spilling out all over before you even get all of the vinegar in. Now stand baack and watch your volcano go!
