Project with ballooons


Question Posted Friday April 6 2007, 10:18 am

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.
