The Rising Hand (or balloon blown-up)

 

Materials
 Three teaspoons of white vinegar
 One medical latex glove (or balloon)
 Two teaspoons of baking soda
 A glass jar, flask or a bottle

*30 ml vinegar + 1tsp baking soda is just fine (KN)

Procedure
 Fill the jar with three tablespoons of white vinegar.
 Take out one glove from the box and pour two tea spoons of baking soda inside. (use funnel)
 Wrap the base of the glove over the mouth of the jar, making sure that no baking soda falls in just yet.
 When you are ready, take the attached glove and put it inside the jar. What happens?


The Scientific Explanation
When vinegar and baking soda are mixed in a container, they react violently. The balloon (or GLOVE) blows up because a gas called carbon dioxide is created and given off when you mix the baking soda and vinegar.


Research Questions
·           What do you think will happen when baking soda and vinegar come in contact (what will be produced)?
·           What do you think will happen to the balloon attached?
·       Why does the balloon stop blowing up (why does the reaction stop)?
