Table salt (sodium chloride) and vinegar (acetic acid) do not produce any obvious reaction. What happens is a reversible equilibrium ionic reaction.

sodium chloride + acetic acid <--> sodium acetate + hydrochloric acid

As the hydrochloric acid on the right side of the equation is much more reactive than the acetic acid on the left side of the equation, the reverse reaction dominates returning the reactants to their original form almost instantly.

Also this is an ionic reaction in water so most of the time we just have the following free ions: sodium+, chloride-, hydrogen+, and acetate- not the compounds listed in the equation above.

The chemistry behind the vinegar salt cleaner is the compound Hydrochloric acid (HCl). A vinegar and salt mixture creates a weak HCL The equation that explains this is: “HC2H3O2 + NaCl...... HCl + NaCH3O2”. The vinegar formula, HC2H3O2, added to the formula for salt, NaCl, makes hydrochloric acid plus sodiumacetate.

When there is a egg in vinegar will the vinegar volume go up or down?

Upon immersion, the carbonates in the egg shell will react with the acid in the vinegar in the reaction: acid + carbonate = carbon dioxide + water + salt. Thus the volume of vinegar will go down.


Why does vinegar and baking soda inflate a balloon?

Vinegar is an acid and baking soda is an alkali. If an acid and an alkali react with each other they produce a salt, water and hydrogen gas. the gas produced can be used to inflate the balloon.
