Pressure is the application of force to a surface , and the concentration of that force in a given area . A finger can be pressed against a wall without making any lasting impression ; however , the same finger pushing a Thumbtack can easily damage the wall , even though the force applied is the same , because the point concentrates that force into a smaller area. Volume is the quantity of three-dimensional space occupied by a liquid, solid, or gas. Common units used to express volume include liters, cubic meters, gallons, milliliters, teaspoons and ounces. Many other units exist. The equation for baking soda and vinegar is CH3 COOH + Na HCO3 -> CH3 COONa + H2CO3 . This equation effects pressure and volume by rising the temperature and wanting to get out of the object. The researchers hypothesis is that when the volume decreases the temperature rises and the object inflates because it wants more space.
