Best Answer

The idea of using baking soda and vinegar is to provide a safe manner in which to demonstrate a chemical reaction with the dramatic release of a gas. In this case, baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is mixed with vinegar (acetic acid) with the violet release of carbon dioxide.

What percent of vinegar and baking soda is used so high pressure is produced?

The equation for this chemical reaction is NaHCO3 + HOOCCH3 = NaOOCCH3 + H2O + CO2. This means that the ratio of vinegar to baking soda to carbon dioxide gas is 1 : 1 : 1. So, in order to maximize the pressure produced, one would use an equal amount of vinegar and baking soda by mass.


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.
