Acids and bases


These are some of the results we got from our acid + base reactions (citric acid + baking soda + water)  and (tartaric acid + baking soda + water).


The mixture fizzed and the bag filled with a gas.

The reaction made the liquid go COLDER. This is an endothermic reaction. It uses heat from the environment rather than producing heat.


Lighting a match to see if the gas would make the flame brighter (oxygen) or put it out (carbon dioxide).

  1. Way to go Room 12! I am very impressed you can make your own litmus paper! Perhaps you can show me how!
