VOLCANO GO

BOOM!
By: Arnav Bablani
THE
QUESTION?
◦ What is the best Ratio between Vinegar and
Baking Soda in Homemade Volcanoes for
getting the highest explosion? 
Research

To make a Volcano you

need white vinegar, baking
soda, and a cup. (small)

If you add water and dish

soap it will create foam

The baking soda needs to

be mixed with water to
work.
The Rationale

(But Why?)
◦ I am doing
this experiment, so people know what the
best amount of Vinegar and Baking Soda is to
put in small volcanoes.
The Hypothesis,
Predicting the
Future!
◦ I think that the explosion height will go higher
as you add more baking soda but once you
reach 10ml of baking soda it will be too much
for the vinegar to handle. Then the explosion
height will decrease as you add more baking
soda. 
Supplies
◦ 1 2-liter soda bottle

◦ Baking Soda

◦ White Vinegar

◦ Water (to mix with

the baking soda)

RESULTS!
Conclusion
◦ Looking at our results, our original hypothesis
was incorrect. One way we know it is (wrong or
right) is that the height kept on increasing.. We
think this happened because the baking soda used
all it could use and then the other bits stayed as a
powder inside. . Another interesting that that
happened was that we had to restart the
experiment. I think this was because we were
using cups that were way too small. In conclusion,
it turns out that 60ml of baking soda and 50ml of
White Vinegar is the best of what we looked at to
make a tiny Volcano. If I were to do this again, two
things I would change would be to use bigger cups
and measurements and to use a different type of
vinegar to see if there is a difference.
