The chemical formula for baking soda (Sodium Bicarbonate) is NaHCO3 The chemical formula for vinegar (acetic acid) is C2H4O2, or CH3COOH, which is an acetate ion plus a Hydrogen atom. When vinegar is added to baking soda, the baking soda dissociates into CO2, plus OH-, plus Na+. The Na+ replaces an H+ on on the vinegar, to form Sodium acetate. The H+ from the vinegar joins the free OH- from the baking soda, to form water. The Carbon Dioxide (CO2) the bubbles through the water and sodium acetate solution.

∙ 11y agoBaking soda is sodium bicarbonate, NaHCO3.
This reacts with acid present in the mix, to produce CO2
HCO3- + H+ -> H2O + CO2
NaHCO3 also decomposes above 700C to produce CO2
2NaHCO3 -> Na2CO3 + CO2 +H2O
Both processes may occur. The former is preferable as the formation of Na2CO3 a strong base gives a poor flavour to the end product
Often baking powder which contains baking soda mixed and an organic acid such as tartaric acid is used in preference.

What gases are formed from baking soda and vinegar collide?
Baking soda and vinegar, when mixed, will produce the gas carbon dioxide ( CO2)
Chemical properties of baking soda?
baking soda reacts with vinegar to produce sodium acetate and carbon dioxide
What ingredient is in baking soda that extinguishes a grease fire?
a bicarbonate of baking soda is Co2 Co2 displaces oxygen which is fuel for the fire no fuel no fire
What gases does baking soda have?
Baking soda is a solid, not a gas. When you use it in baking, however, it releases carbon dioxide CO2 gas.
What plus baking soda make CO2?
an acid
What reaction takes place in a baking soda volcano?
CH3COOH + NaHCO3 ---> CH3COONa + H2O + CO2 Vinegar (1st reactant) reacts with baking soda (2nd reactant) to produce sodium acetate, water, and carbon dioxide.
Why does a cake not rise when baking powder is not added?
Don't put too much baking soda when making a cake. Only put as much baking soda as it says.
When nitric acid contacts wet baking soda it does what?
The HNO3 and NaHCO3 will produce NaNO3, H2O, and CO2. The CO2 will bubble off as a gas. HNO3 + NaHCO3 --> NaNO3 + H2O + CO2 This is an irreversible reaction as one of the products (CO2) escapes.
What is the reason for baking soda to be a base?
Baking soda reacts with acid, so it's a base: HCO3- + H+ --> H2O + CO2
Is the mass conserved when you add baking soda and vinegar?
Yes. The baking soda (Na2CO3) and the vinegar (principally acetic acid, CH3COOH) produce carbon dioxide (CO2) and sodium ethoxide (CH3COONa). Mass is always conserved in simple chemical reactions.
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.
How is baking soda and baking powder the same?
No, baking soda is pure sodium bicarbonate, which reacts with acids in other ingredients of a recipe to create CO2 bubbles an lighten the mixture. Baking powder contains sodium bicarbonate and produces CO2 in the same way, but it contains the acid mixed in with it already. Both baking powder and baking soda (which is called bicarbonate of soda in the uk) are used to do the same thing leaven, or lighten up, a recipe. But they are not the same thing.
