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.

no you need the lava. other than that, yes.
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!
EX: "I can predict that the baking soda will react with the [vinegar] violently and will produce a foaming effect and will emerge from the volcano rapidly"
explode
"How does the ratio of baking soda to vinegar affect the height of the eruption in a baking soda and vinegar volcano experiment?"
I predict that the baking soda will react with the vinegar violently and will produce a foaming effect and will emerge from the volcano rapidly
baking soda and vinegar put the baking soda in first
The ideal ratio of baking soda to vinegar for creating a chemical reaction in a baking soda and vinegar volcano experiment is 1:1.
For the best reaction in a baking soda and vinegar volcano experiment, use about 1/4 cup of baking soda and 1/2 cup of vinegar.
Because there is probably vinegar in it.
