Description
A fun and visually appealing science experiment demonstrating a rapid phase change using baking soda and vinegar.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1–2 tablespoons of baking soda
- 1 cup of white vinegar
- Small bowl or cup
- Ice (optional)
- A spoon for mixing
- Clear glass or container for viewing (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Materials: Gather all your ingredients and tools. Make sure your work area is clean and dry for best results.
- Mix Baking Soda: In your small bowl, add 1-2 tablespoons of baking soda. Mix in a small amount of water until a thick paste forms.
- Heat the Vinegar: In a separate container, pour about 1 cup of white vinegar. If desired, add ice to cool it down further.
- Combine the Mixtures: Slowly pour the vinegar into the baking soda mixture, observing the effervescence as the two react.
- Observe the Crystallization: You should see small ice-like crystals forming quickly as the reaction occurs.
- Enjoy the Display: Watch the crystallization process until the reaction stops if using a clear glass.
Notes
Add food coloring for colored crystals. Experiment with different vinegars or adjusting quantities for various effects.
