When Baking soda and vinegar are combined, it makes a fizzing reaction when the Acetic acid in the vinegar reacts with Sodium Bicarbonate (the chemical name for baking soda).
The result is some water, Sodium Acetate and Carbon Dioxide gas (the bubbles).
What actually happens is this: the acetic acid (that's what makes vinegar sour) reacts with sodium bicarbonate (a compound that's in baking soda) to form carbonic acid. It's really a double replacement reaction. Carbonic acid is unstable, and it immediately falls apart into carbon dioxide and water (it's a decomposition reaction). The bubbles you see from the reaction come from the carbon dioxide escaping the solution that is left. Carbon dioxide is heavier than air, so, it flows almost like water when it overflows the container. It is a gas that you exhale (though in small amounts), because it is a product of the reactions that keep your body going.
What's left is a dilute solution of sodium acetate in water.
Chemical reactions:
Acetic Acid: CH3COOH -> CH3COO- + H+
Sodium Bicarbonate: NaHCO3 -> Na+ + HCO3 -
H++ HCO3- -> H2CO3 Carbonic Acid
H2CO3 -> H2O + CO2
It will "explode" in a way that most kids with those materials to hand could tell you about.

What happens when you get baking soda mixed with vinegar on your body?
Nothing will happen if baking soda mixed with vinegar gets on one's skin. Both ingredients, individually or combined, are harmless.
What happens when vinegar is added to baking soda?
What can happen if baking soda and vinegar mix?
Does vinegar and baking soda separate weigh more or less than when its combined into a balloon?
When baking soda and vinegar are combined they will weigh less than when they were seperated.
What happens when water is combined with baking soda?
Nothing, but if you mix vinegar with baking soda, it fizzes.
How do you clean pipelines?
Fill it with vinegar combined baking soda
Can you reverse the change when vinegar and baking soda are combined?
yes
What will happen when water and baking soda is mixed?
Not much will happen if you mix baking soda with water. If you mix it with vinegar something will happen. Vinegar is more acidic.
What will happen if you reduce the amount of baking soda in a vinegar cake?
the baking soda will explod!!!!
When baking soda is combined with vinegar what new substance is produced?
co2
What happens when bakingsoda chemicals are combined with vinegar chemicals?
When baking soda and vinegar combine, they expand.
Is energy absorbed or released when baking soda and vinegar are combined?
When baking soda and vinegar are combined, energy is released (in technical terms, the reaction is exothermic). The telltale sign of this is the fact that the substance/s produced are warm.
What happens when washing soda and vinegar are combined?
Do you mean baking soda? If you do it kinda explodes, or bubbles over
