Carbon Dioxide and Chemical Reactions

Jared introduces the concept of the three states of matter: solids, liquids, and gases. He explains that gases in the atmosphere are mostly oxygen and nitrogen, which are invisible. To demonstrate gas, he uses baking soda and vinegar to create carbon dioxide, which extinguishes a flame. This experiment shows how carbon dioxide is heavier than air and can smother a flame, illustrating the properties of gases in a fun and engaging way.
