Mark Wayne Lee Jr. invented the baking soda/vinegar volcano in 1978. As a 10-year old, he built the first volcano out of wire mesh and paper mache. He brought this model to Meadows Elementary School in Valencia, California and demonstrated the volcanic eruptions in front of several classes. He went on to obtain a Ph.D. in chemistry from UCLA and is now a Professor of Radiology and Chemistry at the University of Missouri.
"How does the ratio of baking soda to vinegar affect the height of the eruption in a baking soda and vinegar volcano experiment?"
the scientific principle behind a baking soda volcano is that when we add all the ingredients in the volcano a pressure is formed inside it ,so the lava comes out .
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
Both baking soda volcanoes and real volcanoes erupt by releasing gas and molten material from beneath the Earth's surface. The eruption results in the expulsion of materials (baking soda and vinegar for the baking soda volcano, and lava and ash for a real volcano) which flow outwards. Both types of eruptions can create a visual spectacle with plumes of gas and debris.
I'm thinking that if you try to put more baking soda (twice the baking soda or try the same with vinegar).
baking soda and vinegar put the baking soda in first
To make a baking soda volcano, you will need a container, baking soda, vinegar, dish soap, and food coloring. First, place the container on a flat surface. Next, add a few tablespoons of baking soda into the container. Then, mix vinegar, dish soap, and food coloring in a separate container. Finally, pour the vinegar mixture into the container with the baking soda and watch as the volcano erupts.
"How does the ratio of baking soda to vinegar affect the height of the eruption in a baking soda and vinegar volcano experiment?"
The baking soda volcano experiment failed because there was not enough vinegar to react with the baking soda and create the desired eruption.
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, a baking soda volcano is easy to make. You simply need a container for the volcano, vinegar, baking soda, food coloring (optional), and possibly some dish soap for extra foam. When the vinegar (acid) reacts with the baking soda (base), it creates a foaming eruption.
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.
To make a volcano using baking soda, you will need a container, such as a plastic bottle or a cup, and some baking soda. Fill the container with baking soda, then add vinegar to create a chemical reaction that will cause the baking soda to fizz and overflow like a volcano. You can also add food coloring or dish soap to make the eruption more visually appealing.

The control group is the vinegar and the volcano
First you put water, vinegar, food coloring, and baking soda
The first baking soda volcano is credited as having been made by Mark Wayne Lee Jr. He was only ten years old in 1978 when he built it for school.
