How do vinegar and baking soda combine chemically?

Vinegar (acetic acid) has the formula CH3COOH and Baking Soda (sodium bicarbonate) has the formula NaHCO3. These combine in an acid-base reaction (neutralization reaction) to form CH3COONa (sodium acetate) and H2CO3 (carbonic acid), the latter of which decomposes to form H2O and CO2. The CO2 is the reason why there is bubbling and fizzing when the two combine.
