Balloon - Home Chemistry


For science today, we had to do an experiment which includes gases. First of all, we had talked about the different gases we know. 

Aim: To see which chemical mix creates the most gas.

Image result for baking soda balloons

Hypothesis: (What do I think will happen)
I think that the first balloon will be comprehensive, because of Carbon Dioxide. I am not sure if the second balloon will work or not.

Materials


  1. 2 Water Bottles (same size)
  2. 2 balloons
  3. Baking Soda
  4. Sparkling Lemonade
  5. White Vinegar
  6. Table Salt
  7. Classic Soda
  8. Water
  9. Plastic Spoon
  10. Funnel

Steps: Balloon 1

Result for Balloon 1
  1. Get one large plastic bottle and one balloon.
  2. Get some baking soda and white vinegar.
  3. With a funnel, pour ½ cup of vinegar in the bottle.
  4. Put 3 tsp of baking soda in the balloon.
  5. Carefully, put the balloon on the bottle.
  6. Wiggle the balloon so the baking soda will go in the bottle.
  7. Wait for the balloon to rise up.

Steps: Balloon 2

  1. Get one large plastic bottle and one balloon.
  2. Get some salt and soda.
  3. With a funnel, pour ½ a cup of soda in the plastic bottle.
  4. Put 3 tsp of salt in the balloon.
  5. Carefully, put the balloon on the bottle.
  6. Wiggle the balloon so the salt will go in the bottle.
  7. Wait for the balloon to rise up (if it rises up).

Conclusion

This experiment was extraordinary. My hypothesis went right, the first balloon was comprehensive. But the second balloon went a bit awkward, the balloon went from 25cm to 4cm. I had heard about this experiment, but I hadn't tried this experiment, it was really exciting. I also learnt that you make Carbon Dioxide from this experiment.

I hope you like my post about the balloon experiment. Comment down below if you've done an experiment like that. Have a cool day!! Bye!!
