Mr. Line fills a bottle half-full of vinegar. He places baking soda in a paper napkin tied to a rubber stopper. When he shakes the bottle, the vinegar reacts with the baking soda producing bubbles. When the bubbles fill the bottle, the stopper is forced off the top.

Why does this happen?

• The gas created in the reaction takes up more room than the space in the bottle.

• The temperature of the bottle changes which makes the stopper become too loose.

• The string, napkin, and stopper make the reaction happen too fast.

• There is too much vinegar left in the bottle.
