please mark the paper

kindly as it took a lot of
effort.

Hypothesis
What happens when a metal carbonate reacts with
an acid? It produces metal salt, water and
carbon dioxide.

Apparatus used:
300ml Coke glass bottle. (x3)
Bicarbonates of soda( 2 tablespoons each for 2
bottles leaving the third bottle empty.)
50ml vinegar.
50ml lemon juice.
3 same-sized balloons.
A cloth to wipe the residue.

Method
First bottle:
When bicarbonates of soda (sodium bicarbonate)
and vinegar (acetic acid) are combined, a chemical
reaction occurs that produces carbon dioxide gas.
This reaction can be represented by the following
chemical equation: NaHCO3 + CH3COOH → CO2 +
H2O + CH3COONa. The carbon dioxide gas that is
produced causes the balloon to expand quickly and
causes it to almost pop(balloon) This can be
explained by the ideal gas law, which states that the
volume of a gas is directly proportional to the
number of gas molecules at a constant temperature
and pressure.

Second bottle
I conducted an experiment mixing bicarbonate of
soda with lemon juice in a 300ml Coke bottle with a
balloon on top. After adding the ingredients to the
bottle, the mixture immediately began to bubble
and produce carbon dioxide gas. The gas caused the
balloon to inflate and fill up rapidly. As the reaction
continued, the balloon continued to expand. The
mixture inside the bottle took on a cloudy
appearance and had a strong smell of citrus.

Third bottle
In the third bottle, no reaction took place as it was
empty leaving the balloon flat with no air( carbon
dioxide in it)

place in the balloon causing
process the balloon to
stay flat.

What I could have changed in this experiment

would be instead of using bicarbonates of soda I
could’ve also used self rising-powder.
Bottle number 1
The chemical name for the reaction of baking soda
with vinegar is
NAHCO3+CH3COOH=>CO2+H2O+CH3COO. Sodium
hydrogen carbonate + Acetic acid=> Carbon
dioxide+ water+ sodium+ acetate.

Bottle number 2
When basic baking soda (NaHCO3) is combined with
acidic lemon juice (mainly citric acid, H3C6H5O7) an
acid-base reaction occurs. The reaction releases
CO2 which can be captured using dish soap to form
bubbles.

Bottle number 3
In this bottle, no reaction took place causing the
balloon to stay deflated meaning no carbon dioxide
entered the balloon
