Bath Bomb Chemistry Reactions
Read the reaction story
A dry bath bomb contains two key ingredients: a white alkaline powder commonly used in baking and a food-grade acid found in citrus fruits. While the ingredients remain dry, their particles cannot move around enough to react quickly. When water is added, the substances dissolve and their particles meet. They react to make new substances, including a gas that is also released when people breathe out. The gas escapes as bubbles, creating the fizz. Sodium citrate and water are also products. The starting substances in a reaction are called reactants; the substances made are called products. Water helps this reaction happen, but it is not used up overall. Bath bombs are kept dry so they do not start reacting before bath time.
