- This is the classic "acid, base" reaction. When the acid (the vinegar) reacts with the base (which is the bicarbonate of soda) bubbles of carbon dioxide are given off, which fill up your balloon, in spectacular fashion!

Small Soda BottleBalloonBaking SodaVinegarStep 1 –Start with some questions: How do you blow up a balloon? What if I told you that you couldn’t blow air into it, do you think you could still inflate (blow-up) the balloon? Then observe the supplies for the experiments. Do you think they can be use to blow up the balloon? If so how? Write down your hypothesis (prediction). Step 2 – Using a f...
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. Gases do not have a specific shape or volume, rather they expand rapidly filling their container. Gases expand rapidly because their particles move at high speeds in all directions. As the carbon di...
Does changing the amount of baking soda and vinegar change the size of the balloon when it inflates? What would happen if you used another acid like lemon juice instead of the vinegar? Would it react the same with the baking soda? I hope you enjoyed the experiment. Here are some printable instructions:

States Of Matter Balloon Science Experiment. In this fun and easy science experiment, we’re going to use a balloon to investigate if a solid plus a liquid can equal a gas? Materials: Balloon; Baking Soda; Vinegar; Clean and dry bottle (Glass or plastic) Small funnel; Instructions: Using the funnel, add two tablespoons of baking soda to the ...
Apr 13, 2020 · This experiment demonstrates how states of matter can change – mixing a solid with a liquid to create gas! The science behind this balloon baking soda experiment is the chemical reaction between the base – baking soda – and the acid – vinegar.

Main idea. Chemistry investigates how substances interact and change. Say to students. Look at this inflated balloon and this flat balloon. I want to inflate this flat balloon so that it looks just like this other one. But there is a problem, I can’t find an opening where I can blow air into it.
Check out this fun science fair project to make a vinegar and baking soda balloon and demonstrate how gas is created as a result of the chemical reaction.
The self-inflating balloon is made of aluminum-coated polyethyene and contains a pouch of citric acid and loose baking soda. Breaking the pouch allows the citric acid and baking soda to combine. Carbon dioxide is produced, inflating the balloon.
