they do because they just do
When baking soda and vinegar react together, carbon dioxide gas is produced.
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.
vinegar and baking soda affects gas
When mixed together, baking soda and vinegar produce gas due to a chemical reaction that forms carbon dioxide. The reaction occurs because the acetic acid in vinegar reacts with the sodium bicarbonate in baking soda to create carbon dioxide gas, giving rise to the bubbling and fizzing effect.
Baking soda and vinegar, when mixed, will produce the gas carbon dioxide ( CO2)
The issue may be related to the amount of baking soda and vinegar used. If there is not enough vinegar to react with the baking soda, there may not be enough gas produced to inflate the balloon. It is important to ensure the right proportions are used for the experiment to be successful.
In a volcanic eruption simulation using vinegar and baking soda, adding more baking soda will typically create a bigger reaction. This is because baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) reacts with vinegar (acetic acid) to produce carbon dioxide gas, which causes bubbling and fizzing. While increasing vinegar can also enhance the reaction, the overall volume of gas produced is largely dependent on the amount of baking soda used. Therefore, more baking soda will lead to a more vigorous and larger reaction.
To create a homemade volcano eruption, you can use a mixture of baking soda and vinegar. Place some baking soda in the volcano crater, and then pour vinegar into the crater. The reaction between the baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and vinegar (acetic acid) will create carbon dioxide gas, leading to the eruption. You can also add red food coloring to the vinegar for a more visually appealing eruption.
vinegar, lemon juice....... basically anything acidic. baking soda takes the acidity out of things so anything thats acidic will create a reaction.
Baking soda and vinegar must react. The reaction yields a gas that inflates the balloon.
The easiest way to create gas at home is to add Alka-Seltzer to water.
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"
