4. Experimental Procedure
Pour three tea spoons of dry yeast and two teaspoons
of sugar into a bottle.
Slowly pour hot water into the bottle.
Put the balloon over the bottle and wait for half
an hour.
6. Scientific Explanation
Yeast is a microscopic fungus that consumes sugar
and releases carbon dioxide. The numerous bubbles of
this gas rise to the surface, causing the liquid to foam
and the balloon to inflate. In chemistry, this process is
called fermentation. This particular chemical reaction
involves the release of ethyl alcohol and
carbon dioxide
