Experiment 1 (CH3COOH + NaHCO3 ---> CH3COONa + H2O + CO2)

What chemical reaction occured in experiment 1?

 We poured 10 ml. of vinegar into a test tube ( approximately 57 ml ). Then, we added approximately 0.5 g. of baking soda (sodium bircarbonate). When the two substances were combined it created foam, afterwards, it transformed into a gas, carbon dioxide(CO2), which blew up the balloon.
