What is the variables of inflating a balloon with vinegar and baking soda?

Answer 1

What actually happens is this: the acetic acid (that's what makes vinegar sour) reacts with sodium bicarbonate (a compound that's in baking soda) to form carbonic acid. It's really a double replacement reaction. Carbonic acid is unstable, and it immediately falls apart into carbon dioxide and water (it's a decomposition reaction). The bubbles you see from the reaction come from the carbon dioxide escaping the solution that is left. Carbon dioxide is heavier than air, so, it flows almost like water when it overflows the container. It is a gas that you exhale (though in small amounts), because it is a product of the reactions that keep your body going.

ANS2:

If you needed to construct a graph showing the relationship between inflation and the chemical reaction, you could ask yourself, "What does the inflation depend upon?" The factor that the inflation depends upon is the independent variable. Any of the following factors could be the independent variable and would be properly plotted on the X axis:

• temperature,
• size of the balloon,
• quantity of baking soda,
• quantity of vinegar,
• rate of addition of the vinegar to baking soda or vice versa,
• grain size of the baking soda, or
• total quantity of mixture

Carbon dioxide was offered by the first person to answer. The quantity of carbon dioxide produced is dependent upon several of the items in the list above and is just another way of describing inflation.

Answer 3

The chemical reaction that occurs when baking soda and vinegar are mixed can be summarized:

NaHCO3 + CH3COOH => NaCH3COO + H2O + CO2

The reaction will release CO2 as a gas with sufficient pressure to inflate a balloon.
