Science On DisplayThe Chemical Change of Soda Bicarbonate and VinegarClass Presentation By Conor Berry January 27, 2010 7-CZ
Research Hypothesis • Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate • Vinegar is a weak acid • When the two components are combined they make a strong rising of fizz • This is a multistep reaction • The sodium bicarbonate mixes with the acid to create carbon dioxide and water • I believe that the higher the ratio of vinegar to baking soda the better the result
Materials • Baking soda • Vinegar • Something to hold mixture in • Low gauge for measuring PSI • Balloon • Measuring spoon
Procedures • Pressure Method • Measure vinegar and baking soda. • Pour each into my device and seal them. • Shake container to mix vinegar and baking soda. • Read psi gauge to measure the amount of pressure. • Record pressure observed on log and graph. • Repeat for each vinegar / baking soda combination. • Volume Method • Measure vinegar and baking soda. • Pour each into my device and seal them. • Shake container to mix vinegar and baking soda. • Measure circumference of the balloon with string. • Record circumference observed on log and graph. • Repeat for each vinegar / baking soda combination.
Pressure Method Pressure in Kilograms per Square Centimeter Due to Baking Soda - Vinegar Mixture
Balloon Method Balloon Circumference in Millimeters Due to Baking Soda - Vinegar Mixture
Conclusions • My hypothesis was that the higher the ratio of vinegar to baking soda the better the result. • I tested my hypothesis using two methods. • the pressure methods using a pressure gauge • the volume method measuring the circumference of a balloon • The reactions were the same for both methods. • The more baking soda and the more vinegar the greater the reaction and the more gas. • In my mind my hypothesis was correct.
