Write the symbols and formulas of the reactant/s on the left side of the arrow and symbol/s and formula/s of the products on the right.

Once the reaction is completely finished, and you don’t see any bubbles anymore, place the dish on the scale and take a final measurement.Ĭompare the starting mass of the chemical reaction with the final mass. Start the reaction by pouring the vinegar onto the baking soda and watch the reaction. That is the total starting mass of your chemical reaction. Time for math! Now add the weight of the vinegar without the cup to the total weight of the dish with cookie cutter and baking soda. Now calculate the weight of the vinegar without the cup the same way we calculated the weight of the baking soda in the bonus activity. Note the weight of the cup.Īdd 50 mL of vinegar to the glass. Now add in one tablespoon of baking soda and record the total, final weight. Weigh the dish and cookie cutter together and note the weight. Set your star cookie cutter in a small bowl or dish you can fit on a kitchen scale. Now we have done the basic experiment, let’s ramp up the learning a bit with an extension idea that will put our young scientists critical thinking and deductive reasoning skills to work.

Ask your kids why they think this happens. Adding this extra variable, the soap, will really add to the bubbles and eruption.

Pro Tip!Add a bit of dish soap to the inside of the cookie cutter with the baking soda. Links have been provided below to some great options.ĭepending on the age and ability of your children you may also want to provide them with protective equipment such as safety glasses (no one wants vinegar in their eye!) or gloves (vinegar in hang nails or little cuts can hurt).Īlways do these experiments under responsible adult supervision. There are lots of fantastic options available. But if you decide you do want a little sparkle and shine in your creations, I highly recommend using a biodegradeable glitter.

* A NOTE ON GLITTER – Glitter has become very controversial due to the negative impacts on the environment, but I know many of you still love a little sparkle in your projects! When it comes to glitter, I believe it is always optional. Plastic covering for the table (optional) Small Squeeze bottle, syringe or pipette (for vinegar) Vinegar + sodium bicarbonate -> sodium acetate + water + carbon dioxide Supplies Chemical Formula of Baking Soda and VinegarĬ 2H 4O 2 + NaHCO 3 -> NaC 2H 3O 2 + H 2O + CO 2 Carbon dioxide is the gas that causes the bubbling during the reaction. The other products are water ( H2O) and carbon dioxide ( CO2 ).

Sodium acetate is made of 1 sodium ion, 2 carbon atoms, 3 hydrogen atoms, and 2 oxygen atoms. During this reaction the products are sodium acetate ( C2H3NaO2 ). Baking soda is a base also known as Sodium Bicarbonate and has the chemical formula ‎NaHCO3. Vinegar or Acetic Acid has the chemical formula CH3COOH. This activity explores the popular baking soda and vinegar reaction, which is a simple acid-base chemical reaction. It always amazes me the incredible, curious minds of kids, and the thoughtful and interesting questions they ask as we do science together. Whenever we do any of these activities I love to talk about the science and reaction as we do it. Learn more! Check out more baking soda and vinegar reactions here. The bubbly, erupting reaction is easy, budget friendly, and so much fun. This is far from the first time we have done an experiment with sodium bicarbonate (aka baking soda) and vinegar. Today we are capturing that magic with a little baking soda and vinegar experiment.Įasily turn this into an experiment to celebrate any event by adjusting the colours of your glitter and mold, or just use a rainbow of colours and celebrate just because science is awesome! Baking Soda and Vinegar

Watching the fireworks is a popular celebratory activity through many cultures as a highlight of many festivals and celebrations. Not seeing our videos?
