When you mix vinegar and baking soda you get a chemical change. The chemical property that causes this is called reactivity. Baking soda’s chemical formula is NaHCO3 and it’s a compound. Vinegar’s chemical formula is CH3COOH and it’s a compound. The problem of this is how much baking soda‚ added to 10mL of vinegar‚ will cause a film canister rocket to shoot the furthest.

I think that if it wasn’t for the treaty of Versailles‚ Germanys financial matters and the resentment that Germany felt wouldn’t have been as bad because the treaty of Versailles just emphasized the issues that Germany would be faced with‚ and if the problems weren’t emphasized Hitler would have had less a chance of being in power as he simply used Germanys weaknesses to rise to power.
