TO INFLATE A BALLOON USING VINEGAR AND BAKING SODA!

Let's use vinegar and baking soda to blow a balloon!!


Materials:


A balloon


Water


Baking soda


Lemon juice or a lemon (vinegar works best)


Drinking straw


Small soda bottle (12 ounce or 20ounce)


Instructions

Take the small balloon in your hands and stretch it out a bit to make it a little easier to inflate.

Pour about 1 ounce of water of into the bottom of a small baking soda

Dissolve 1 teaspoon of baking soda into the water with the help of drinking straw.

Pour 3 tablespoon of lemon juice or the lemon juice found in 1 lemon.


Quickly put the mouth of the stretched balloon over the mouth of the soda bottle.




  What is happening???

The balloon slowly inflates due to the presence of carbon-dioxide formed by the reaction of water, baking soda and lemon juice/vinegar
