We zipped the bag up but left a little gap to drop in a tissue containing 3 teaspoons of baking soda.
We zipped up the bag and thew it outside.
What happened ?
It foamed up and filled the bag before popping it open. Very exciting!
Why did this happen?
What happens inside the bag is actually pretty interesting
- the baking soda and the vinegar eventually mix . When they do mix, you create
an ACID-BASE reaction and the two chemicals work together to create
a gas, (carbon dioxide - the stuff we breathe out) Gasses need a lot of room and the carbon dioxide starts to fill
the bag, and keeps filling the bag until the bag can no longer hold
it any more and, POP!
