My Prediction

What I think will happen?

When we put the backing soda and vinegar into the contain it will explode.

Baking Soda ' Vinegar VolcanoUse baking soda and vinegar to create an awesome chemical reaction! Watch as it rapidly fizzes over the container and make sure you've got some towels ready to clean up.

The baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is a base while the vinegar (acetic acid) is an acid. When they react together they form carbonic acid which is very unstable, it instantly breaks apart into water and carbon dioxide, which creates all the fizzing as it escapes the solution.

1.Place some of the baking soda into your container. 2.Pour in some of the vinegar 3.Watch as the reaction takes place!
