Why does the rocket height increase as the amount of vinegar and baking soda mixed increases?

Why does the rocket height increase as the amount of vinegar and baking soda mixed increases?

When baking soda and vinegar are mixed together, the reaction produces water and carbon dioxide gas. It takes longer for more carbon dioxide to be made from the reaction and thereby more is needed to fill this larger space and build up enough pressure to pop the lid open like it did before.

Does the amount of vinegar change the eruption?

Adding baking soda to vinegar, the reaction is delayed, but then fizzes the same amount. More vinegar is better. A 12 to 1 ratio of vinegar to baking soda caused a fizzing explosion!

How many drops of vinegar does it take to neutralize baking soda?

One group answered as follows: We think we will be able to neutralize the baking soda if we carefully add the right amount of vinegar. For 0.5 gram of baking soda, we predict it will take 17 drops of vinegar. Since 1.0 is the double of 0.5, we predict it will take double the number of drops, which will be 34 drops.

What will happen if we mix vinegar and baking soda?

When baking soda is mixed with vinegar, something new is formed. The mixture quickly foams up with carbon dioxide gas. If enough vinegar is used, all of the baking soda can be made to react and disappear into the vinegar solution. Sodium bicarbonate and acetic acid reacts to carbon dioxide, water and sodium acetate.

What happens if you mix baking soda and lemon juice?

Lemon juice contains citric acid which when mixed with the base, baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), reacts to form carbon dioxide and sodium citrate which causes the liquid to fizz and bubble.

Is OxiClean a laundry sanitizer?

OxiClean™ Laundry & Home Sanitizer is formulated to disinfect viruses†, sanitize laundry and disinfect bacteria in High-Efficiency machines.

Is Borax the same as OxiClean?

Without diving into a deep chemistry lesson, it’s important to note that the active compounds in Borax and OxiClean are both slightly different. Borax and borates in general do convert to hydrogen peroxide, but the process is a bit slower and less reactionary.
