Chemical Reaction Rate Project

This week in science we learned about the rate of chemical reactions and how to speed them up or slow them down. On Tuesday we were assigned a project where we would have to create and experiment that demonstrates a way to slow down or speed up a chemical reaction. For my demonstration I decided to use baking soda and vinegar. When the products mix they create a chemical reaction that causes the reactants to fizz. I demonstrated that you could increase the concentration of the powder and vinegar to increase the reaction rate, or decrease it to slow down the reaction rate.
