Copper atoms in the penny react with oxygen atoms from the air & together they form copper oxide which
makes the pennies look dull and dirty. The copper oxide dissolves in a weak acid (the vinegar & salt).
5. When vinegar and baking soda react together, the new substance that is produced is ___________________.
6. _______________ & ______________ are both dangerous by themselves, but when they react together they
form table salt.

8. In another experiment, we see kids blow up a balloon by mixing together vinegar and baking soda. When
the kids touch the blown up balloon, it is ____________ to the touch. This means that the reaction is
endothermic or exothermic
9. When someone gets hurt playing sports, often times a cold pack is used for the injury. The cold pack takes
up more energy than it gives off and it gets very ___________ to the touch. This means that the reaction taking
place is endothermic or exothermic
