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.
A chemical reaction that causes the two to mix and bubble rapidly
chemical volcanic eruption
When the vinegar mixes with baking soda it produces a gas that will cause the balloon to expand
no it willl explode
The effect will be the sodium that it produces!
baking soda and vinegar put the baking soda in first
"Do baking soda vinegar bombs work?"
Baking Soda and Vinegar combinedmake a fizzing reaction when the Acetic acid in the vinegar reacts with Sodium Bicarbonate (baking soda).
If one is working with equal amounts, baking soda might produce more carbon dioxide when mixed with vinegar, because baking powder is already combined with an acidic ingredient.
Baking soda and vinegar!
The more vinegar to baking soda, the better. I only tested up to 1 part baking soda/5 parts vinegar. Also, add the baking soda to the vinegar, not the other way around.
A balloon containing vinegar and baking soda will inflate due to the formation of carbon dioxide gas from the chemical reaction between the vinegar and baking soda.

Yes. Baking soda is a base, vinegar is an acid.
