Every Tuesday in the Wilson Daily Times we will be running the Imagination Station Science Corner. These will be simple experiments that parents can do with their children at home. Each week there will be a few questions that go along with the experiment; and, the answers can be found here.
Answers to the Amazing Expanding Balloon:
1. Why did the balloon expand?
The balloon expanded because when the Baking Soda and Vinegar were mixed some atoms from each one came together to form a gas that wasn't in the bottle before. The new gas wants to expand and has to go somewhere, so it goes up and fills the balloon.
2. What gas do you think filled the balloon?
The gas that is formed is Carbon Dioxide (CO2).
