Does the reaction between vinegar and baking soda make foam or gas?

Vinegar and baking soda are two chemical compounds that, when reacted together, create carbon dioxide.
Baking soda is the chemical sodium bicarbonate, NaHCO3.
Vinegar is mainly acetic acid, HC2H3O2.
the chemical reaction goes like this:
NaHCO3 ---> Na+ + HCO3-
HC2H3O2 ---> H+ + C2H3O2-
Those two react in an aqueous solution, making the equation:
H++ HCO3-----> H2CO3
This is called carbonic acid, which is unstable at room temperature in the presence of water and immediately breaks into H2O and CO2.
That's what you're seeing. The CO2 gas being formed and bubbling out of the misty solution (the mist comes from the excess baking soda.) This bubbling of solution makes a volcanic like reaction because the gas is trying to escape.

If baking powder fizzes in vinegar is it a chemical reaction?
yes, because the powder reacts after hitting the vinegar.
What is the reaction between baking soda and gelatin?
to form a foam reaction at the top.
Why is there foam when baking soda and vinegar reacts?
The reaction causes carbon dioxide which bubbles up and forms vinegar bubbles.
Can I use baking soda to tell if my wine is turning to vinegar or does it have the same reaction as vinegar regardless of if it has turned?
Since wine is acidic, the baking soda will react, and bubble/foam similar to adding baking soda to vinegar (or anything acidic for that matter). The best way to tell is to taste and smell it. Wine turns to vinegar through a reaction with oxygen. Store corked bottles sideways so the cork does not dry. Take other steps to ensure oxygen does not come in contact with the wine.
What did you see when you mixed the vinegar and the baking soda?
you get CO2 and other chemicals that flows out as bubbling foam
What makes vinegar blow up?
If you are looking for what makes the vinegar fizz, baking soda or another base would work. It works because the vinegar and baking soda cause a chemical reaction with each other, and they cause it to fizz and foam. So in short, baking soda would cause it to "blow up." If you were looking for a different answer, I really don't know.
Why does vinegar slow reactions?
This is the result of the chemical reaction between the acetic acid in vinegar and the sodium bicarbonate in baking soda. Sodium bicarbonate contains a sodium ion and a bicarbonate ion. During the reaction, a hydrogen ion breaks off from the acetic acid an attateches itself to the carbonate ion, forming carbonic ac id and leaving behind sodium acetate. The carbonic acid is unstable and spontaneously breaks down into carbon dioxide and water. The carbon dioxide forms bubbles, causing foam to rise up.
How do you make a volcano out of a lamp shade?
Place a container of baking soda under a lampshade, and position the lampshade so that the end with a smaller diameter is facing up. The baking soda should be immediately below the opening of the lampshade. Pour vinegar into the baking soda, and let it foam over to create a volcano.
What hypothesis can you use for a middle school science fair project?
A hypothesis is your best educated guess on what the outcome of the science fair project is going to be. So you would first need to come up with the science experiment that you want to do before you can come up with your hypothesis. Example: if your science project was mixing baking soda and vinegar together to see what type of reaction you will get, your hypothesis is your guess on what is going to happen when you mix the baking soda and vinegar together. So my hypothesis for that experiment of mixing baking soda and vinegar together is that it will foam up and overflow from the container that I mixed them in. If that happens then my hypothesis was correct. So you need to have an experiment in mind before you can make your hypothesis for the experiment.
How baking soda and vinegar different form a single displacement reaction?
These two proucts react because even though we consume them they still have a chemical make up and vinegar is a very volatile acid so when mixed with the Alkenlined Baking soda it reacts volatily.
What does vinegar and baking soda produce?
as baking soda is a carbonate the reactants would react to give water, carbon dioxide and a salt which someone else may be able to identify but would be a sodium salt of some kind
What type of reaction is foam?
Its not a reaction strictly speaking. Foam is when gas is suspended by a liquid bubble on the surface of a liquid. Foam occurs when the liquids are of a certain density which accomodates the formation of these bubbles.
