Unit phenomenon: Dropping Zn(s) into HCl (aq) at different temperatures and concentrations to produce gas = use this in the lesson/unit.

You are helping an elementary school student with a science project. They wish to model a volcanic eruption similar to the one shown in the video. The reaction of baking soda with vinegar produces water, carbon dioxide and sodium acetate, NaC

 is frequently used to model this phenomena.

The student is looking for the best combination of baking soda and vinegar to get the most effective eruption. The student used 50 mL of vinegar in each trial. The data table below shows information on the trials that the student has conducted. 

* This data will be replaced with actual experimental data.

HS-PS1-5 Apply scientific principles and evidence to provide an explanation about the effects of changing the temperature or concentration of the reacting particles on the rate at which a reaction occurs.
