Conservation of mass Lab Investigation



What we saw with our pop rocks experiment is that even that we had a a large amount of liquid our balloon did not blow up very big. Well that isn't what we thought at first. We didn't start questioning this until we saw the vinegar with baking soda. This caused a bigger reaction even though there is far less liquid. How come the blue balloon with vinegar got bigger than the orange balloon with Pepsi? Turns out that Pop Rocks and Pepsi together are not a true chemical reaction. It is just the release of carbon dioxide that is already inside the candy. Nothing was changed. My hypothesis did not work because the pop rocks with pepsi wasn't even a reaction. Just the release of Co2.
