Please help! My sister has this project to do with air and flight so she's doing that thing with the giant pop bottle, a balloon, vinegar, and baking soda.

She needs to know how does the balloon fly, and what happens (scientificilly) before the balloon fly. Does the balloon fly or does it just goes up? Any other info or other thing you can add to hlep the project become a success?

I don't want a big mistake and like vinegar explodes in the whole classroom or anything.

What activates inside the bottle and then white stuff comes up to the balloon? Is it the baking soda or the vinegar?

Thank you so much! It's do in five days so hopefully someone will answer

The baking soda and vinegar undergo a chemical reaction producing Carbon Dioxide, the gas, and Sodium Carbonate, the white foamy stuff you see. Carbon Dioxide is heavier than air, so the balloon will not float, it will sink. The balloon will fill up, and eventually pop. Carbon Dioxide isn't flammable or poisonous, so don't worry about that.

okay... does everyone on this site just answer the
questions that appear on the rightside? cause those are
the only questions i answer... & rarely do i get a
question in my inbox. i realized that most people on
advicenators dont have that many ratings when the
number of answers is a lot more... am i missing
something here? or is it just that i have a lot more
spare time & can go on the site & answer lots of new
questions from other users?
- thankss ♥

I only answer the questions on the right. I usually ignore a question if it has an answer rated 5, because that should mean the person has found their answer. All questions not on the right have been sufficiently answered or deleted, so there's not really a reason to check them.

"Number of ratings" is number of ratings in 30 days. "Number of questions answered" is for all time. So there is a large difference.

how do you know if someone declines / rejects your
question? besides the fact that it doesn't show up on
their column. do you get a notice? does it just
magically disappear from your "your questions" list?
thanks!

It disappears from "your questions"; you don't get notified. If the person has looked at your question, but not answered it right away, (I think) it's automatically rejected after 12 hours.

okay so, my mobile takes videos in a 3gp format, and when it comes to editing my videos on movie maker, it wont accept the format, and neither will windows media player when it comes to playing them, so is there anything free out there i can use to convert my video formmat, or is there already a way?, (im using windows xp (prof.)

You have to save the movie file(file>save movie file) in windows media player. This WMA file should play in almost every player; if it doesn't you can convert using zamzar:

i was bored so i went to a cchat room hwere you can talk 2 random people and i met this guy whos 16 and i told him i was 15 and im really 13,and i like him,and i don't think he will talk to me if i tell him.and i lied about the fact that i have big boobs(i have boobs but they arent HUGE) lol so should i tell him or just let him think im 15?

Most people on chatrooms aren't pedophiles, that's ridiculous. There's probably 1 in every 200 people. I'd tell him the truth and see what happens. A normal teenager would be reluctant to continue talking to you. A pedophile would brush it aside. If you loose that guy, there's 450 million more fish in the internet. Just remember not to give anyone personal info.

This is a REALLY wierd question but -- I can't stop thinking about it, lmfao.
In school, in a boys public bathroom, are the urinals out in the open? Or do they have walls to seperate them. Because couldn't boys make fun of other boys' penis' size?
Haha, i'm just curious :)

Sometimes they are out in the open, sometimes there are small walls separating them. No one gets made fun of because guys don't usually talk at all in bathrooms, it's an unwritten rule.

is it unnatractive to guys if girls dont shave "down there"? i dont normally shave it all because it comes back all scratchy and it bothers me alot. i usually just cut most of it

Yes, most guys think it's unattractive.

ok so i edited my myspace so it was all nice in Mozilla Firefox and my friends said it looked weird so i went into Internet explorer and in IE it looks different and messed up like just a big gray box. what can i do?

IE and FF render pages differently. Both don't follow W3C standards 100%(though IE is worse). Run your CSS(the part in ) through the css validator:
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/#validate-by-input
Correct any errors. That'll usually fix it. If it doesn't, send me a private question with the code you used. Good luck!

19 f

ok so i need to write a twenty page paper for my college psychology class. My teacher is kind of a flake and didnt really explain anything all that well on the format. I was just wondering if anyone new of a website that showed how to do APA format on papers. I know how to do references but i dont know the exact guidlines for papers. If anyone knows anything about APA format please let me know it would be greatly appreciated thanks!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apa_format
Look at the external links at the bottom if that page isn't clear enough.

hi.. is there a way to like, message other advicenators without like getting into trouble / breaking the rules? like you know how on myspace you can send messages & no one sees them but the two of you? besides IMing / emailing them, of course... like is there a way to do it THROUGH advicenators? thanks!

There's no private message function. Private questions aren't actively moderated, but they can be seen by everyone on your column. I'm pretty sure you can use the question system for advicenators-related comments. Chances are if a person didn't include an email on their column, they don't want to be contacted anyways.

I grew up in a Catholic family and always hated going to church. Stand up, sit down, stand up, sit down, kneel, stand up sit down. So boring and predictable.

Then I quite going to church for many years. I then tried some Christian church that was HUGE. They played music the whole time, which was alright. The sermon was OK to, but being raised a Catholic I wasn't comfortable with holding my hands up in the air and all these ministries and expectations.

I'm totally turned off by the conservative George Bush right wing religion thing to. I don't want to preach and I hate having people preaching AT me.

What are my options? Buddhism? Jewish?

Whatever you feel comfortable with. You don't *have* to have a religion. Since you grew up with a catholic church, nothing else will feel the same. You can't expect something to be the same and better, that's impossible. Take a look at

http://www.religioustolerance.org/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_religions

And don't trust any of those "what religion is best for me?" tests.

Do any of you know of a program that will let you dowload old tv shows (from the 70's)? My friend is in love with them lol.

Not legally. You can use bittorrent to do it illegally, though. Here's my guide:
http://www.advicenators.com/talkaboutmetopic.php?t=94&userboard_id=38985
You could get it from limewire, but it would take forever. If you don't know the particular show, you can check here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_television_programs_by_date#1970s
Good luck!

I made this layout and I just can't seem to get it right! Can somebody fix the code up so the Iframe tables or in the right spot? it looks like this : http://freewebs.com/miley-cyrusweb/test.htm . If you want to know the code and you know how to fix it , please go to the site , click on the "view" tab and view the source and then you'll get an opened notepad of the code. Please help me ASAP!

This entire document needs to be re-worked. You link to a stylesheet with extension .htm. You specify two widths: one in the style and one in the tag. Iframes doesn't use border or allowtransparency. You don't have a doctype, or specify a character encoding. I recommend you go to http://w3schools.com and learn HTML.

I answered someones question and got a one; i reported it and it was only changed to a 2.
just reading the question then my answer, why did i get such a low rating?

QUESTION:
Well my mom did some thing REALLY REALLY stupid she said when ever my cusin gets things pierced I can get them at that age she hers, and my cusin
got her belly button pierced at 13 and I just turned 13 a little bit ago so do you think I'll look like a little s*** but I really really wanna get it pierced and most of my friends have it done so i think I wanna get it

1-abuse
2-useless but good-intentioned
3-useful
4-very useful
5-above and beyond

Your answer was not useful. I probably would have given you a 3, because it was a stupid question to begin with, but that's the moderators' decision. Go to http://www.advicenators.com/abuse.php?mode=list&view=mine
and click the report; the moderator may have left a comment. If they didn't, you can see what moderator changed your rating, and ask them a private question.

No, they will not work. They should buy pre-paid cell phones as soon as they get there.
