Chemical:
Its NOT a catalyst, vinegar is a reactant in stead, meaning that one substace (v.) changes chemically when in contact with the other (b.s.)
When vinegar (acetic acid solution) comes in contact with baking soda, the acidic hydrogen ions from vinegar release the CO2 from the carbonate (in baking soda, sodium bicarbonate) thus forming a mass of foaming bubbly.
Lingual:
Vinigar and vineger (and even vinager, though this one is the most understandable) are all misspelled forms of VINEGAR
The word "vinegar" derives from the Old French vin agre, meaning "sour wine", which in turn is derived from the Latin "vinum aegrum" meaning "feeble wine".

∙ 15y agoVinegar contains acetic acid.
Adding any acid to baking soda causes the acid to react with the baking soda, producing carbon dioxide, a gas. While not harmful, it can be messy if not
This is used in some older fire extinguishing systems, and is commonly employed in childrens' science fair projects to make papier-mache volcanoes "erupt" on demand.

Baking soda and vinegar ratio?
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.
What does a balloon do with vinegar and baking soda in it?
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.
How does the concentration of vinegar affect the reaction rate of a baking soda and vinegar reaction?
the reaction rate increases with the increased concentration of the vinegar - it is directly proportional
