Proving CO2 is Heavier than Air Video for Kids

                                Proving CO₂ is Heavier than Air

It is a basic science experiment for kids to show that CO₂ gas is heavier than air. It needs a couple of basic ingredients.

Requirements: –

• Baking Soda
• Vinegar
• Two glasses
• Candle
• Matchbox
• Measuring Spoons

Procedure: –

• Take one tablespoon of baking soda. Drop it in the glass.
• Take a tablespoon of vinegar and pour it into the glass with baking soda.
• Now give it a minute to generate CO₂
• Take this glass and pour the CO₂ gas only in another glass without pouring any liquid in it.
• Now light the candle with the match.
• Take the second glass that has CO₂ in it and pour the gas on the flame.
• You will notice that the flame will go out.

Concept: –

This experiment demonstrates that the CO₂ gas is heavier than air when it drifted apart and extinguished the burning flame. The theory was proven when the flame went out.
