Mixing different amounts of baking soda and vinegar generates varying amounts of carbon dioxide gas in a predictable way, demonstrating the gas laws. The classic experiment involves placing a balloon on a bottle containing the reaction, where the produced carbon dioxide gas increases the balloon's volume assuming constant pressure and temperature, illustrating the gas law. Students can apply gas laws to understand the relations between pressure, volume and amount of gas produced from the baking soda and vinegar reaction.

The classic experiment features a balloon placed on top of a bottle in which the reaction takes
place. The gas evolved from baking soda and vinegar is carbon dioxide, or CO2.
