How much baking soda and vinegar does it take to pop a balloon?
Put the balloon flat on a table and hold it while your child uses the marker to draw a smiley face on the balloon. Pour 1/2 cup of vinegar into the empty water bottle. Use a small spoon and carefully add baking soda into the balloon until it’s about 1/4 full.
Will the balloon size grow bigger if more vinegar is in the bottle Why?
If you want a bigger balloon you should use more baking soda and vinegar because then more carbon dioxide gas will be produced. This observation leads to an important rule in chemical reactions: The amount of reactants used affects the amount of products produced.

What will make balloons float besides helium?
Technically any gas that’s less dense than air will make a balloon float. In comparison, Hydrogen is half the density of helium and can be better at making a balloon float. Hydrogen gas generates good buoyancy but is not one of the popular nonhelium balloon decoration ideas, since it is explosive.
