The Baking Soda Vinegar Volcano Experiment

On Wednesday afternoon Room 7 observed the baking soda and vinegar volcano experiment. We wrote down what we noticed happened. Watch the video below to see what happens.


What is the science behind this experiment?
The baking soda is a base while the vinegar is an acid. When they react together they form carbonic acid which is very unstable, it instantly breaks apart into water and carbon dioxide, which creates all the fixing as it escapes the solution.

What you'll need:
Baking soda
Vinegar
A container to hold everything
Paper towels or a cloth

Instructions:
Place some of the baking soda into container.
Pour in some of the vinegar
Watch what happens!
