The question is poorly worded. A more precise question would be, "Why does a mixture of baking soda and vinegar release carbon dioxide?"
The reaction of baking soda and water is an acid-base reaction. The active ingredient of baking soda is sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3), a base. The active ingredient of vinegar is acetic acid (H3COOH), an acid. The reaction of the two in water produces hydrocarbonic acid (H2CO3) plus sodium cations (Na+) and chloride anions (Cl-). The hydrocarbonic acid rapidly disproportionates into carbon dioxide (CO2) plus water (H2O).

∙ 13y agobaking soda is sodium bicarbonate NaHCO3. So it contains:
Na = sodium
H = hydrogen
C = carbon
O = oxygen

∙ 13y agoBaking powder works by releasing carbon dioxide gas into a batter or dough through an acid-base reaction, causing bubbles in the wet mixture to expand and thus leavening the mixture.

How is carbon dioxide prepared?
baking soda and vinegar
What do vinegar and baking soda create?
Carbon Dioxide, Water, and Sodium Acetate Sodium bicarbonate + acetic acid ---> sodium acetate + carbon dioxide + water (baking soda) (vinegar)
What gases are formed from baking soda and vinegar collide?
Baking soda and vinegar, when mixed, will produce the gas carbon dioxide ( CO2)
What hapens when you add vinegar to baking soda?
The mild acid in vinegar reacts with the bicarbonate in baking soda to release carbon dioxide.
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.
Why does vinegar and baking soda iflate a balloon?
Vinegar and baking soda inflate a balloon because the vinegar and baking soda cause a chemical reaction making carbon dioxide, inflating the balloon.
When mixed baking soda and vinegar yield?
When you mix vinegar and baking soda together you get a chemical reaction.A chemical reaction occurs producing, Sodium acetate and waterwhen vinegar is mixed with baking soda it fizzes up a lot.8-)}baking soda + vinegar = mini explosionA vigorious release of carbon dioxideIt Bubbles up.It creates carbon dioxide
How do you make baking soda and vinegar bubble up?
Mixing vinegar and baking soda sodium acetate is obtained and carbon dioxide is released.
What is the reaction when mixing Baking soda and vinegar?
Carbon dioxide is produced. The amount of baking soda to vinegar control the amount of CO2 that is produced.
What gas is produced in a reaction between baking soda and vinegar?
Carbon dioxide
Does more baking soda increase the level of carbon dioxide when with vinegar?
prolly
What kind of air do you produce when you mix baking soda and vinegar?
Carbon Dioxide
