so I need to search the internet for why my experiment works? because I already came across these two sites and they did not help.
What question are you trying to answer?
not a specific question but I have to make a poster with my experiment-balloon, baking soda and vinegar each step of the scientific method. but stuck on research.
You can research the reaction of an acid and a base.
thank you-would this be correct
Vinegar with Baking Soda mixed together creates an acid-base, making a gas. The gas pushes up into a balloon and causing the balloon to blow up.
Great!
thanks a lot.
You're welcome.
