What happens when vinegar is added to baking soda?
What are the products of vinegar and baking soda?
How will your result change if you add soda to water?
What are the side effects/benefits of drinking baking soda and water?
Which combination seems better for baking a cake?
Conclusion: To write a good conclusion you must: state what your results show (and describe the
shape of the graph if you have one); Use numbers to describe the trend/pattern, compare your results
to your hypothesis; explain your results with scientific knowledge.
Evaluation: Answer and explain these questions: Did you carry out the experiment accurately and
how you know? Did you make any errors and how? Did you control the controlled variables well?
How could you improve the method so that your experiment was more accurate?

Science behind it
Baking soda often called by other names such as sodium bicarbonate or
bicarbonate of soda. (NaHCO3)
Baking soda is an alkaline substance when mixed with acids change the pH
levels and that is the reason it became a quickest remedy for illnesses like
stomach upset, bad smell etc.
The process of combining baking soda and vinegar forms a cloudy liquid and
produces carbon dioxide
The bubbles and foam you see are filled with carbon dioxide gas (CO2) that’s being released
by an acid/base reaction. Vinegar is acetic acid dissolved in water and baking soda is a base
called sodium bicarbonate. Initially, the reaction makes carbonic acid which is unstable. It
quickly breaks down into CO2 and water. The gas then rapidly leaves the water creating
foam and bubbles along the way.
