In an experiment where they put yeast to 4 bottles with 1 cup of warm water then they also add different serving of sugar to the three bottles and only the bottle with sugar in it has the balloon inflated, the question is, what is the chemical reaction base on this experiment

Accepted Answer

The chemical reaction that caused the balloon to inflate is the fermentation of sugar by the yeast. In this process, the yeast converts the sugar into ethanol and carbon dioxide gas. The carbon dioxide gas is what caused the balloon to inflate.
