it makes a chemical reaction and fizz starts to grow.
Vinegar is acetic acid, Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate. When these two are mixed, an acid-base neutralization reaction takes place with the evolution of Carbon dioxide gas (as bubbles).
CH3COOH + NaHCO3 -----> CH3COONa + H2O + CO2

∙ 13y agoBaking soda (NaHCO3) reacts with the acetic acid (C2H4O2) which makes up 5% of white vinegar (The other 95% is water) to form carbon dioxide gas (CO2), water (H2O) and sodium acetate (NaC2H3O2), which is the white powder left at the bottom of the solution.
Thus, the equation is: NaHCO3 + C2H4O2 --> NaC2H3O2 + CO2 + H2O.

It fizzes over because an acid-based neutralization is occuring.
Baking power acts like a base, and vinegar acts like an acid.
Vinegar donates and acid to the baking powder. The fizzing you see is the result.
