Problem:
When baking soda and vinegar are combined, will there be a physical or chemical change?

Research:
Baking Soda:

Vinegar:

Hypothesis (use if, then, because):

Materials:

Procedure:
1. Using your graduated cylinder, measure 30mL of vinegar from the beaker. 2. Place the plastic bottle on the table and carefully add the 30 of vinegar into it. 3. Put the thermometer into the liquid in the plastic bottle. Leave the thermometer there for 60 seconds; 4. Record the temperature of the liquid in Celsius: __________ 5. Open the mouth of the balloon (put the 1 st 2 fingers, not the thumb, on each hand inside of the mouth of the balloon and stretch). 6. Using the spoon, have a lab partner put a teaspoon of baking soda inside of the balloon. 7. Without spilling the baking soda out of the balloon, stretch the mouth of the balloon over the mouth of the bottle. 8. Turn the balloon upright so the baking soda falls into the bottle. If needed, you can SLIGHTLY swirl it to mix in the baking soda. 9. OBSERVE until the reaction has stopped! ! ! 10. Record the temperature of the liquid mixture in Celsius: __________

Data Collection / Data Analysis

1. How did the temperature of the liquid change once the baking soda was added? Did it increase or decrease?

2. What signs of chemical changes did you see? List ALL of them.

Conclusion:

Was your Hypothesis correct or incorrect? Identify if adding baking soda to vinegar was a chemical or physical change. List the signs of a chemical reaction that you observed to support your answer. Is there anything you can do better next time to be more accurate?
