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.

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.

How can I create a chemical reaction using baking powder and vinegar?

To create a chemical reaction using baking powder and vinegar, simply mix the two together. The baking powder (sodium bicarbonate) reacts with the vinegar (acetic acid) to produce carbon dioxide gas, which causes bubbling and fizzing. This reaction is commonly used in baking to make cakes and breads rise.


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.
