Baking Soda & Vinegar Volcano


Materials:
Baking Soda
Vinegar
A container to hold everything and avoid a big mess!
Paper towels or a cloth
Procedure:
Place some of the baking soda into your container.
Pour in some of the vinegar
Watch as the reaction takes place!
Result:

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.
