__**//Kitchen mayhem://**__ Why Bicarbonate of soda fizzes when mixed with vinegar.

__**//Question://**__ Why does bicarbonate of soda fizz when mixed with vinegar.

When combined with an acid bicarbonate of soda creates carbon dioxide bubbles, which is what we see when we add vinegar. Remember to add a little water to the mixture to make the experiment fizz a little more. When the vinegar and baking soda come in contact, a chemical reaction occurs and a gas called carbon dioxide is released. When this happens, bubbles form, and pressure builds which leads to a fizzy reaction. This is how the baking soda and vinegar experiment is made.

Why do we have to do homework?

Homework has been around for centuries and in 30 years over 1 billion pounds of paper has been used to make homework!

Some people think it is to see if we were paying attention at school or some think it is pointless some even think that we just do it because our teachers want to take up our valuable time but why we actually do homework is to re-enforce what we have already learned or to extend what we know maybe even to prepare us for our future tests. Therefore our teacher sets us with the task and if we don’t do it we get into trouble.
