Elisa Jackson Mrs. Gafford Science 7 20, January 2017 Reaction Rocket Introduction: In science a few days ago we made chemical rockets. That reacted with vinegar and baking soda. The chemical property that we invested was the chemical property of reactivity. We put 10mL of vinegar in the 30mL film canister. It made a couple of changes it fizzled, it raised, and made a pop sound when it exploded. The types of matter that is reacting are compounds baking soda is NaHCO3 vinegar is CH3COOH. The problem I had was how much baking soda in vinegar would make it go the farthest. I thought that 15ml would fly the farthest because the less room in the canister the farther it would fly. The independent variable was the baking soda that was changing the amounts that was in it. The …show more content…

The first one It started to react as soon as I put the paper towel in the canister. it started to fuzz a little when it popped it launched 545cm. The second one I tilted that one more up than usual and almost hit mrs.smith it launched 484cm. Third I put it in more faster and pointed it more straight it went really fast and fell out of my hands it launched at 572 cm the average I got was 533.6 repeating. Second trial was 9ml of baking soda in 3 rockets with 10ml of vinegar. The first one hit the counter so the length was shorter the launch was 140cm. Second one I pointed it straight and tilted up that got me 530cm. Third the rocket went backwards and the lid flew straight. The average was 385.3 repeating. Third trial was 15ml of baking soda with 10ml of vinegar. First one it was a lot harder to get the cap on in time by the time it launched at 200cm it interfered with the ceiling. Second one it hit the counter and only went 330cm. Third it fizzled a lot and ran out of gas and went no where. The average was 176.6
