ABSTRACT

Remove this and paste/type your INTRODUCTION

ABSTRACT•A volcano is an opening on a planet’s surface or crust which allows hot magma, volcanic ash and gasses to escape from below the surface. Some well-known volcanoes around the world are Mount Rainier, USA, Mount Etna, Italy; Mauna Loa, Hawaii, USA; Sakurajima, Japan. A volcano in Iceland called Eyjafjallajokull erupted in March 2010. It happens when the hot magma finds cracks on the surface of the planet and forces up or erupts. I made a model using a chemical reaction between baking soda and vinegar to simulate the gasses and magma flow. When the baking soda (base) reacts with vinegar (acid) it forms the gas, carbon dioxide. The gas expands and escapes through the opening of the bottle. The gas, flour and food colorings makes foam which looks like the glowing magma in a volcano.

•1.a : an assumption or concession made for the sake of argument•b : an interpretation of a practical situation or condition taken as the ground for action

•2: a tentative assumption made in order to draw out and test its logical or empirical consequences

Hypothesis•WeakI believe mixing vinegar with baking soda will result in foaming

•StrongI believe combining a 4:1 ratio of Vinegar to Baking Soda will result in four inches of foam

CONCLUSION

Remove this and paste/type your CONCLUSION

CONCLUSION•The reaction between vinegar and baking soda is a double displacement reaction. Vinegar reacts with baking soda to form sodium acetate and carbonic acid. Carbonic acid is unstable so, it decomposes into carbon dioxide and water. The balanced equation for the reaction is;

•CH3COOH + NaHCO3 ------ > CH3COONa + H2CO3

•CH3COOH + NaHCO3 ------ > CH3COONa + H2O + CO2
