1. We are performing a chemistry reaction

   1. Nitric Acid and Baking Soda in the alka seltzer + water

   2. When all the reagents are added the by-product carbon dioxide is produced

      1. This will build up in the canister and will increase the pressure in the canister which will cause it to “launch”

2. PV=NRT is the ideal gas law

   1. We are learning about how pressure it built up in the canister that will allow for it to “pop” off.
