Congo Camp 2010

Congo Chemists tested chemical reactions as they saw CO2 form by mixing baking soda and vinegar.

To see the formation, they placed vinegar into a plastic bottle and then added baking soda into a deflated balloon.  Once the baking soda was added, the reaction started.

The balloon was connected to the top of the plastic bottle and then the baking soda was sifted into the vinegar.  As the two chemicals met, the gas formed and helped the balloon to inflate.

All of the Congo Chemists were excited to see the reaction and to see some of the balloons explode.  Later today they will be making lemon soda and we can't wait to taste this delicious treat!
