Trying to make mothballs dance in a bicarb-vinegar mixture but why won't they sink?

the vinegar reacts with the bicarb n it creates gas bubbles which make the mothmalls 'dance' and not sink as the gas pushes them up. if tried with something heavier it would sink though

Why do mothballs dance?
Assuming you mean how mothballs dance in certain solutions, I can describe to you one way in which you can make mothballs dance. When vinegar and baking soda combine, they form a gas called carbon dioxide (which is the fizz in sparkly drinks like coke, champagne and soda). If you fill a jar halfway with water, and mix in about 2 tablespoons of baking soda, drop in a few mothballs, and then mix in about 2 tablespoons of vinegar, you will see the mothballs dance in the water! What's happening is the formed gas, carbon dioxide (or CO2), reaches and coats the mothballs and causes them to float up, and as they fall down after the gas has reached the surface, they collect even more bubbles which causes them to float up again, creating a "dancing mothball" display. I hope this answers your question at least partially.
