Purpose to produce a different form of matter.
Things Required:
1-litre plastic soda bottle
1 large balloon, 18 inches
1 teaspoonful of baking soda
3 tablespoonfuls of vinegar
Cellophane tape
Directions:
Pour the baking soda into the bottle. The vinegar is to be poured into the balloon. Attach the open end of the balloon to the mouth of the bottle. Use the tape to secure the balloon to the bottle. Raise the balloon to allow the vinegar to pour into the bottle.
This Is What Happens:
The mixture starts to bubble and the balloon inflates.
Science Behind It:
A chemical change occurs when the vinegar and baking soda mix together. The balloon inflates because it becomes filled with the carbon dioxide gas produced. The starting materials were in the solid and liquid form, and one of the products from the reaction is in the gaseous form.
