well for my AP Bio class my first lab is for us to make CO2, no matter what it takes. He said he wants it to be creative so here is my idea. take a bottle/cup of water drop a shitload (yes that is a scientific term of quanity) of antiacid tablets (alka seltzer) in the cup. now in theory CO2 will be emitted as a gas due to the chemical reactions taken place between the water and a tablet.
so now i have to capture this gas so i am going to use a balloon but for it to be creative i am going to make a balloon animal out of the gas.
well now for reality, i just tried the experiment and my balloon wouldn't inflate but i think that is caused by the funnel not having a perfect seal around the bottle.
so i'm asking if you guys think this is a good idea and what other ways you know of how to make CO2.
