How can we explain another phenomenon, like elephant toothpaste, where gas bubbles appear after combining different substances together?

• Combining different substances may result in forming something new, even inside a closed system.

• Combining different substances forces one of the substances to change to a gas.

• Combining different substances may result in particles rearranging and interacting in different ways.

According to our labs and investigations, which statements are true so far?

• When a bath bomb is added to water, the ingredients dissolve and produce gas bubbles.

• The bath bomb itself does not produce gas without water.

• The bath bomb contains pockets of gas trapped inside which are released when added to water.

• Lemonade powder contains citric acid, which is needed to produce the gas.

• Citric acid and baking soda in water produce the gas bubbles, which may be made of carbon dioxide gas.

Where is the gas coming from when a bath bomb is added to water?

• When a bath bomb is added to water, a gas is produced from new matter that was somehow added to a closed system (sealed bottle).

• When a bath bomb is added to water, a gas is produced from matter that was already inside the closed system (sealed bottle).
