Mixing vinegar and baking soda produces carbon dioxide.

The carbon dioxide will extinguish the fire because the fire can only burn with oxygen.

because it prevents the oxygen in the air to reach the flames, and w/o oxygen the fire dies.

Fire needs three things; oxygen, fuel, and heat. When baking soda is put on a fire it displaces the oxygen around the fire. Once the oxygen is gone, the fire can't keep burning.

That really depends on how big your volcano is. If you want a nice big explosion fill your volcano up about 1/3 full with baking soda but measure out how much baking soda you used, then add some food coloring to the vinegar and pour the same amount of vinegar as baking soda into the volcano. REMEMBER: Pour the vinegar in quickly otherwise it will start spilling out all over before you even get all of the vinegar in. Now stand baack and watch your volcano go!


When you mix vinegar and baking soda together why is it cold?

Baking soda and vinegar gets cold in a reaction called an endothermic reaction. Ectothermic reactions get warm, endo cold. All the heat is taken in by the baking soda and used as energy. If you add more baking soda, more baking soda will take in energy and make it colder. Source(s): Fith Grade science project done in Los Gatos, CA

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.
