15 kwi 2024 · The baking soda and vinegar balloon experiment demonstrates a chemical reaction between an acid and a base. The baking soda acts as the base and the vinegar as the acid. When the two combine, carbon dioxide (CO2) escapes the container and causes the balloon to blow up.
The reaction between the baking soda and vinegar cause the balloon to inflate all on its own! It is a show-stopper experiment for kids. (See more of my STEM projects for kids.)
Students learn about gas and chemical reactions by discovering how to inflate a balloon using baking soda and vinegar.
When you added the baking soda to the vinegar, the two combined to make carbon-dioxide gas, which inflated the balloon. The expansion of the balloon changed the weight of your sealed flask because you and your entire experiment are submerged in a fluid: air.
When you add the baking soda to the vinegar it causes a reaction. That reaction releases a gas called carbon dioxide (CO2). Because the balloon forms a seal around the bottle, the gas produced cannot escape, so it fills up the balloon.
Watch the Balloon Blow Science Experiment Step by Step Instructions. How Does the Science Experiment Work? When baking soda (a base) and vinegar (an acid) are mixed together they create a chemical reaction that results in the formation of carbon dioxide gas.
