Science Week Thursday: Fizz Inflator!

On Thursday we mixed vinegar and baking soda to produce an acid/base reaction.
We filled a balloon with baking soda and emptied it into a bottle of vinegar. Everyone was amazed as the mixture fizzed and thousands of bubbles filled the bottle and the balloon grew bigger and bigger! The gas in the bubbles was carbon dioxide, which blew up the balloon.
