Summary of Wasser-Rakete mit CO2 - Experiment zum Nachmachen

The video demonstrates a DIY experiment to create a CO2 rocket using a mineral water bottle, citric acid, and baking powder. The scientific concepts explored include the chemical reaction between citric acid and baking powder, which produces carbon dioxide gas, leading to increased pressure that propels the rocket.

Key Concepts and Methodology:

• Chemical Reaction:
  • citric acid reacts with baking powder to produce carbon dioxide (CO2).
• Pressure Dynamics:
  • The CO2 gas builds up pressure inside the sealed bottle, causing it to launch when the pressure is released.
• Materials Needed:
  • 0.5-liter mineral water bottle
  • citric acid (available in cleaning products)
  • baking powder (available in baking supplies)
  • Water
  • cork or stopper that fits the bottle
  • skewers and adhesive strips for stabilization
• Procedure:
  1. Remove the cap from the mineral water bottle.
  2. Attach skewers with adhesive strips to stabilize the bottle.
  3. Add one teaspoon each of citric acid and baking powder into the bottle using a funnel.
  4. Quickly add water to the mixture.
  5. Seal the bottle tightly with a cork or stopper.
  6. Position the bottle away from yourself and step back to observe the launch.

Safety Precautions:

• Wear protective goggles and gloves.
• Conduct the experiment outdoors.
• Ensure that an adult supervises or conducts the experiment for safety.
