Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Prepare the Solution: Measure 30mL of warm water using the beaker, then pour the water into the test tube. Add one big scoop of baking soda and stir well until the powder is fully dissolved.
- Prepare the Balloon: Add three medium scoops of citric acid into the balloon.
- Attach the Balloon: Carefully stretch the open end of the balloon around the top of the test tube, ensuring it fully covers the screw threads and is sealed tightly. Make sure the balloon is hanging down the side so no powder falls into the test tube yet.
- Start the Reaction: Lift the balloon, allowing the citric acid to fall into the test tube. Watch as the mixture creates carbon dioxide gas, filling the balloon!
- Observe and Explore: If the bubbles stop, gently swirl the test tube to generate more gas and keep the fun going.
