LAB-12 Science Experiment #6 - Vinegar Volcano.
Scientists at LAB-12 have been conducting experiments on wacky stuff like quicksand and chemical reactions. The experiment Scientist Adam and his partners did was on chemical reactions to Baking Soda mixed with Vinegar to make a Volcano.
The volcano was made by combining certain ingredients into a container to create the result we wanted which turned into a bubbly mess when put into different containers.
The End Result
Our end result was a bubble like fizz result which smelled, weird… We also touched our result and we found out that some of the baking soda hasn't even dissolved into the result yet which still leaves some of the baking soda left.
Different Sizes, Different Results
As we said earlier, when we tried different containers, we got different results like overflowing which did happen when we tried a little container which was supposed to hold our baking soda. And let me tell you, it was a pretty messy experience.
What causes this?
When the vinegar collides with the baking soda, both of them react to form gases of carbon dioxide, then it rises to the surface like how it does in beverages like soda.
How we do it / How to do it.
You will need the following items to do this experiment.
- A container which can hold a considerable amount of baking soda and vinegar.
- The amount of baking soda you're using.
- The amount of vinegar you're using.
Now, these are the instructions for the experiment.
- Pour the baking soda into the container.
- Pour the vinegar into the container.
- Watch it overflow, fizz or blow!
So, I think everybody in LAB-12 had a fun time doing their lab experiments. Now, if you excuse me, I have to go clean up the baking soda and vinegar me and my fellow scientists made.
