    1) The document describes an experiment where baking soda is added to vinegar in a bottle, causing a chemical reaction that releases carbon dioxide gas. This gas fills a balloon that is placed over the bottle, causing it to inflate without blowing. 2) When baking soda and vinegar mix, they react and release carbon dioxide gas. The balloon seals this gas inside, allowing it to fill and inflate the balloon. 3) Carbon dioxide is used to carbonate soft drinks and is naturally produced during beer and wine fermentation, though many manufacturers now carbonate artificially. It is also a greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming.

    Overview for adults
    If a chemical reaction produces a gas, you might not notice it, unless the gas
    has a colour or a smell. This activity will show how you can capture the gas
    produced in a chemical reaction in a visually exciting way.

    What’s the When you add the baking soda to the vinegar it causes a reaction.
    That reaction releases a gas called carbon dioxide (CO2). Because
    science? the balloon forms a seal around the bottle, the gas produced
    cannot escape, so it fills up the balloon.

    Can you blow up a balloon
    without using your mouth?

    You will need...

    Baking soda Funnel or piece of paper

    Small plastic bottle Vinegar

    Balloon Teaspoon

    Think and talk about… Investigate…


    • What can you see happening in the bottle? • What happens if you use more baking
    • What is making the balloon inflate? soda? Or more vinegar?
    • Is it blowing up faster or slower than when • Time how long it takes to inflate and
    you use your mouth? then repeat the experiment. Were the
    times similar?
    • Try using a different size balloon and
    see what effect it has.
    • What happens if you use a bigger or
    smaller bottle?

    Follow these steps…

    1 Half fill the bottle with vinegar. 2 Using a funnel, half fill the balloon with
    baking soda. It helps if you’ve pre-stretched
    the balloon by blowing it up. You can make
    a funnel by rolling up a piece of paper.

    3 Carefully place the balloon over the neck


    of the bottle and allow it to droop over to
    4 Lift the end of the balloon and pour the
    baking soda into the bottle. Shake well
    the side, making sure none of the baking and place the bottle on a table. Watch
    soda falls into the bottle. the balloon inflate all by itself!

    Carbon dioxide is the gas that makes the bubbles in fizzy drinks.
