how Baking Soda And Vinegar blow up a balloon?
it is for a science fair project
Baking soda and vinegar react to make carbon dioxide. The reaction is:
NaHCO3 + CH3COOH —> CH3COONa + H2O + CO2
Its the CO2 that blows up the balloon

What chemical reactions can blow up balloons besides Baking Soda And Vinegar?
im doing a science fair project but i cant find any other chemical reactions that can blow up a balloon besides vinegar and baking soda.
Any reaction of an acid with a carbonate or bicarbonate, will produce CO2
Reaction of certain metal sulfides with strong acids will make H2S
Reaction of an ammonium salt with strong base like NaOH or KOH, will give NH3
Reaction of an active metal or metal hydrides such as Na, NaH, K, Mg, Ca, CaH2, Al, LiAlH4, etc with water or acid. Will produce H2. (Note: some of these are violent)
Electrolysis of water solutions of various salts (will fill ballon with H2, O2 or both depending on how it is set up).
Reaction of calcium carbide with water (makes acetylene).
Heating of certain metal hydrides without access to air (such as LiAlH4 or CaH2 (will produce H2 + free metal)
Reaction of organo metallics with water or acid (magnesium compounds, organo lithiums, aluminum alkyls, etc) will produce the corresponding hydrocarbon gas, for example H3CMgCl/Et2O will give methane (Note: some of these reactions are very violent, you may synthesize fire/explosion!)

science help please!!!!!!!?
here is a procedure to an experiment can u tell my the purpose and the chemical equation
procedure
1. 100ml of vinegar and pour into flask
2. weigh out 15 g of baking soda on the triple beam balance
3. blow up and realese balloon to stretch
4. pour baking soda into balloon
5. stretch balloon onto top of flask
6. tip balloon up straight so baking soda pours into flask
can u please help me ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and can u please tell me wat the stuff on the bottom of the flask after the experiment would be thanks
Vinegar is acetic acid: CH3COOH
Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate: NaHCO3
Mixing the two is simply and acid base reaction.
CH3COOH + NaHCO3 —> CH3COONa + H2CO3
That last product is carbonic acid which quickly decomposes into
carbon dioxide and water:
H2CO3 —> H2O + CO2
The CO2 is what you see foaming and bubbling in this reaction.
