Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) + vinegar (acetic acid) ---> These are your reactants. The chemical formula and products that correspond to these substances are: NaHCO3 + CH3COOH ---> NaC2H3O2 + H2CO3 *Note that vinegar isn't simply acetic acid, but is a mix of different compounds. In this chemical reaction (bit difficult to see), the reactants go through what is called a double replacement (essentially the ions switch places). Words: Sodium bicarbonate + acetic acid ---> sodium acetate + carbonic acid In addition to this, carbonic acid will further decompose (break up) further into carbon dioxide and water: NaHCO3 + CH3COOH ---> NaC2H3O2 + H2O + CO2 Words: Sodium bicarbonate + acetic acid ---> sodium acetate + carbon dioxide + water Your products are: Sodium acetate, carbon dioxide, and water. When baking soda and vinegar combine, the most recognizable indication of a chemical change is the bubbles. As you can see from the chemical formula, the bubbles are in fact carbon dioxide. A good way to check that your results are correct (if you have a gas formation), is to use a glowing or flaming splint and expose it to the gas. In this case, the flaming splint would be extinguished because of the carbon dioxide.
The products of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and vinegar (dilute acetic acid) are sodium acetate, carbon dioxide, and water.
Vinegar (CH3COOH) and baking soda (NaHCO3) combine to form (I don't know the names) CH3COONa + H2CO3. The H2CO3 decomposes into carbon dioxide and water. (CO2 + H2O).

The ideal ratio of vinegar to baking soda for creating a chemical reaction in a baking soda and vinegar experiment is 1:1.
baking soda and vinegar put the baking soda in first
The ideal ratio of baking soda to vinegar for a successful chemical reaction in a baking soda and vinegar experiment is 1:1.
Baking Soda and Vinegar combinedmake a fizzing reaction when the Acetic acid in the vinegar reacts with Sodium Bicarbonate (baking soda).
Because you have more reactants going into the reaction, so the greater the products (Co2 gas and the foamy bubble).
The ideal ratio of baking soda to vinegar for creating a chemical reaction in a baking soda and vinegar volcano experiment is 1:1.
"How does the ratio of baking soda to vinegar affect the height of the eruption in a baking soda and vinegar volcano experiment?"
Baking soda and vinegar are reactants because they are what react, or go into a reaction. The products here are water, carbon dioxide, and sodium acetate, because they are what is produced.
