Caustic soda is sodium hydroxide (NaOH), which is a strong base. Vinegar, a weak acid, is dilute acetic acid (CH3COOH). When combined, they undergo a neutralization reaction producing water and the salt sodium acetate (NaCH3COO). The balanced chemical equation is written below.
NaOH(aq) + CH3COOH(aq) --> H2O(l) + NaCH3COO(aq)

CH3COOH + NaHCO3 ---> CH3COONa + H2CO3 That last product is carbonic acid which quickly decomposes into carbon dioxide and water: H2CO3 ---> H2O + CO2 The CO2 is what you see foaming and bubbling in this reaction.
