Any acid. Often Vinegar is used as it contains ethanoic (aka acetic) acid and is readily available in most households.
Carbon dioxide, or CO2, because of the decay of the carbonate group in the sodium bicarbonate (baking soda.)
Mixing vinegar and baking soda sodium acetate is obtained and carbon dioxide is released.
Because it generates carbon dioxide gas.
Mixing baking soda and vinegar yields carbonic acid, which then decomposes into carbon dioxide and water. The carbon dioxide would be evident in the bubbling that's visible.
baking soda and vinegar
Baking soda is sodium hydrogen carbonate, which decomposes when heated, to give sodium carbonate, water (which will be steam in the oven) and carbon dioxide. Water and carbon dioxide blow bubbles in the dough as it sets.
The chemical reaction of vinegar and baking soda produces carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide, which is heavier than oxygen, smothers a flame starving it of the oxygen it needs to burn.
Baking soda will produce carbon dioxide when it reacts with an acid.
Carbon Dioxide, Water, and Sodium Acetate Sodium bicarbonate + acetic acid ---> sodium acetate + carbon dioxide + water (baking soda) (vinegar)
Baking soda is a solid, not a gas. When you use it in baking, however, it releases carbon dioxide CO2 gas.
It causes your recepie to rise. ------- Thermal decomposition of baking soda and releasing of carbon dioxide and water vapours.
