The reaction that happens from mixing vinegar and baking soda is caused from the chemical reaction between the acetic acid (CH3COOH) in vinegar and the sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) in baking soda. The reaction forms sodium acetate (NaCH3COO), water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2). The chemical equation is as follows: CH3COOH + NaHCO3 -> NaCH3COO + H2O + CO2

When you mix baking soda and vinegar together, it creates lots of bubbles and fizz. It does this because when the hydrogen ions from the vinegar and the bicarbonate ions from the baking soda combine, they create carbon dioxide gas and water. So that fizz that you see is really the CO2 gas.

Hope this helps

Baking soda, a pure chemical called sodium bicarbonate, has the chemical formula:

NaHCO3

When dissolved in water baking soda separates into sodium (Na+) and bicarbonate ions (HCO3- ):

NaHCO3 ---> Na+(aq) + HCO3-(aq)

Vinegar, a weak (5%) solution of acetic acid in water, partially dissociates into hydrogen ( H+) and acetate ions (CH3COO-):

CH3COOH <--> H+(aq) + CH3COO-(aq)

The reaction between baking soda and vinegar is actually two reactions, an acid base reaction followed by a decomposition reaction.

When the two ingredients are mixed, hydrogen ions ( H+) from the vinegar react with the bicarbonate ions (HCO3- ) from the baking soda to form a new chemical called carbonic acid (H2CO3).

H+ + HCO3- ---> H2CO3

The carbonic acid thus formed then immediately decomposes into carbon dioxide gas (CO2)and water (H2O).

H2CO3 ---> H2O + CO2

It's this carbon dioxide gas that you see bubbling and foaming as soon as you mix baking soda and vinegar together.

Using the molecular structures of only the components involved, the chemical reaction can be written:

My name is Professor Zandy Aigler, DR MMD PhD OUT (other useless title). I have studied at the University of Cambridge, studying foreign languages and the composition of human words of the evolution of mankind. For the past twenty years, I have dealt with the words spoken and written by ancient humans, and I believe your question offers another set for my collection. I have spent countless hours studying the make-up of words over time, as I said, and my education exceeds yours by miles. Maybe leagues. If your intelligence was gas, and mine was ethanol, I'd be whippin' your butt on the way to the moon in my non-air-polluting vehicle! I digress. A lot. Anyways, the question offered... "Baking soda plus vinegar produces?" is in fact not a question at all. It is a -fragment-, my friend, a -fragment-! Obviously English is not your first language. Maybe second or third. Are you a polyglot? Oh, I'd love to meet and discuss the origin of Spanish and French words. All I know is "Te Llama" and "Wi" and even though I've been studying these languages for year, it does not mean I learn them. Please reach me at my email, immoreawesomethanyou@cambridge.edu.com Anyways, Baking soda plus vinegar creates hippos.
