Vinegar is a 5% solution of acetic acid, HC2H3O2, in water. Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate, NaHCO3.

HC2H3O2(aq) +NaHCO3(aq) ===> NaC2H3O2(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O

Find a way to capture the CO2 gas and use it in inflate the balloon.

if vinegar is combined with baking soda, it produces carbon dioxide gas, which will inflate the balloon.
