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.

What gases are formed from baking soda and vinegar collide?

Baking soda and vinegar, when mixed, will produce the gas carbon dioxide ( CO2)


Chemical equation of baking soda?

The chemical equation for baking soda is NaHCO3, which stands for sodium bicarbonate. When baking soda is heated, it decomposes to form carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and sodium carbonate (Na2CO3). This reaction is often used in baking to help baked goods rise.

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 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.


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


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.


How does baking soda react with water?

Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) reacts with water to produce carbon dioxide gas. This reaction creates bubbles, which can help dough rise in baking or clean surfaces when scrubbed. The chemical equation for this reaction is: NaHCO3 + H2O → NaOH + H2O + CO2.


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.
