Chemical:
Its NOT a catalyst, vinegar is a reactant in stead, meaning that one substace (v.) changes chemically when in contact with the other (b.s.)
When vinegar (acetic acid solution) comes in contact with baking soda, the acidic hydrogen ions from vinegar release the CO2 from the carbonate (in baking soda, sodium bicarbonate) thus forming a mass of foaming bubbly.
Lingual:
Vinigar and vineger (and even vinager, though this one is the most understandable) are all misspelled forms of VINEGAR
The word "vinegar" derives from the Old French vin agre, meaning "sour wine", which in turn is derived from the Latin "vinum aegrum" meaning "feeble wine".
"How does the ratio of baking soda to vinegar affect the height of the eruption in a baking soda and vinegar volcano experiment?"
The ideal ratio of vinegar to baking soda for creating a chemical reaction in a baking soda and vinegar experiment is 1:1.

baking soda and vinegar put the baking soda in first
The ideal ratio of baking soda to vinegar for a successful chemical reaction in a baking soda and vinegar experiment is 1:1.
Baking Soda and Vinegar combinedmake a fizzing reaction when the Acetic acid in the vinegar reacts with Sodium Bicarbonate (baking soda).
The ideal ratio of baking soda to vinegar for creating a chemical reaction in a baking soda and vinegar volcano experiment is 1:1.
Yes, the amount of baking soda used in a baking soda and vinegar reaction will affect the size and rate of gas production, which will, in turn, affect how much the balloon inflates. Increasing the amount of baking soda will generate more gas and result in a larger balloon inflation, while using less baking soda will lead to a smaller balloon inflation.
The more vinegar to baking soda, the better. I only tested up to 1 part baking soda/5 parts vinegar. Also, add the baking soda to the vinegar, not the other way around.
A balloon containing vinegar and baking soda will inflate due to the formation of carbon dioxide gas from the chemical reaction between the vinegar and baking soda.
baking soda= sodium bicarbonate vinegar= aceidic acid
Yes. Baking soda is a base, vinegar is an acid.
