Best Answer

Vinegar (acetic acid) has the formula CH3COOH and Baking Soda (sodium bicarbonate) has the formula NaHCO3. These combine in an acid-base reaction (neutralization reaction) to form CH3COONa (sodium acetate) and H2CO3 (carbonic acid), the latter of which decomposes to form H2O and CO2. The CO2 is the reason why there is bubbling and fizzing when the two combine.

Why is baking soda effective in cleaning a vinegar spill?

Baking soda will react chemically with vinegar, so cleaning a vinegar spill with baking soda will, if sufficient baking soda is applied, react with all the vinegar and completely eliminate all that vinegar and its smell. The "active ingredient" in vinegar is acetic acid, which is CH3COOH, and its mixed in with water. Baking soda is NaHCO3. The reaction is as follows: CH3COOH + NaHCO3 => NaC2H3O2 + H2CO3


What gets produced when you mix vinegar and baking soda?

Vinegar (CH3COOH) and baking soda (NaHCO3) combine to form (I don't know the names) CH3COONa + H2CO3. The H2CO3 decomposes into carbon dioxide and water. (CO2 + H2O).
