When you mix baking soda and vinegar it becomes like a volcanoe...Just like a bubbly sorta type thing. If your trying it at home make sure your doing it over the sink that way it doesnt become a mess. It also helps me and my Allergies! I have hives(sorta like chicken pox) and I rub it on them and it stops the itch.

What is the word form for citric acid?
Citric and acid ARE words, so the word form is citric acid!
Is citric acid a crystal?
citric acid is a carboxylic acid. It could form crystals if recyrstallized from suitable solvents.
Is citric acid a mixture?
Citric acid (if pure and in the anhydrous form) is a single molecule with the formula C6H8O7. So - NO - citric acid is a compound, but not a mixture.
What are citric acid crystals?
Citric acid crystals are the solid form of water free citric acid, officially named: 3-carboxy-3-hydroxypentanedioic acid, C6H8O7, or citric acid monohydrate, C6H8O7.H2O
Does barium nitrate dissolve in hydrochloric acid?
Yes, barium and chloride do not form a precipitate and hyrogen and nitrate will form nitric acid. Yes, barium and chloride do not form a precipitate and hyrogen and nitrate will form nitric acid.
Is citric acid powder the same as energy?
No. Citric acid is matter. Energy is that which allows change in matter in the form of heat and movement.
Does baking soda form a precipitate with Silver Nitrate solution?
Yes, a yellow one.
Does hydrochloric acid form a precipitate with cupric sulfate solution?
yes.
What substance combines to form citric acid?
carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen
What occurs at molecular level when baking soda and lemon juice are mixed?
The lemon Juice contains citric acid. An acid can lose a hydrogen ion (H+). Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate or NaHCO3. When baking soda dissolves in water it breaks apart and releases the sodium ion (Na+) and bicarbonate ion (HCO3-). The bicarbonate ion is a base, meaning it can take a hydrogen ion from an acid. So the bicarbonate ion "steals" an H+ ion from the citric acid to form carbonic acid, H2CO3. Carbon acid is somewhat unstable and most of it breaks apart into water and carbon dioxide. Left behind is a citrate salt.
Is citric acid a liquid?
It is a solid. See the discussion page for further info. (It does not matter that it is dispersed, it still maintains its fundamental state of matter.) Citric acid (anhydrous) is a solid at temperatures below 153C (307F). Citric acid becomes liquid at 153C. At some temperature well above that, pure citric acid may enter vapor phase, but its likely the energetic state of atoms in the molecule at this temperature will cause it to come apart. The boiling point of a solution of citric acid in water depends on the concentration of citric acid in the water.
Why does baking soda react with lime juice?
Baking soda which is sodium bicarbonate is a base, while vinegar is acetic acid, an acid. The mixing of these two chemicals results in a neutralization reaction, producing carbon dioxide gas which causes the bubbling.
