Vinegar

The reaction between vinegar (acetic acid) and baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is a chemical reaction (property). CH3COOH + NaHCO3 ==> CH3COONa + CO2(g) + H2O

Yes! Perfectly safe and healthy. Works great for bad breath or sore throats. It won't affect blood pressure or anything like normal table salts.

An emulsion.

Nope... the resultant mixture cannot be reversed.

Yes, because it doesn't like black people. Vin-Niger.

they help because they work like that

It is acetic acid (CH3COOH) that is the "active ingredient" in vinegar, which also has some water in it. A link is provided, and it can be found below.

Exactly what it sounds like, you take some vinegar and distill it. The process of distillation involves boiling the substance, in this case vinegar, and then cooling the vapours causing them to condense back into a liquid. This means that only substances with a relatively low boiling point are carried over, mainly water an acetic (ethanoic) acid, which is why distilled vinegar is clear and often called white vinegar; the impurities are removed.

Uses for white vingar as a cleaner are numerous. It may be used to clean soap scum from showers, tubs, sinks, and plastic shower curtains. It may also be used in the dishwasher to make dishes, glasses, and crystal sparkling clean, as well as clean the inside of the dishwasher. Using white vinegar on windows, mirrors, and vinyl floors results in a great streak-free clean. When used with baking soda, it can clean and keep drains flowing smoothly, as well as clear a slow drain. Recommended reading include books by Linda Cobb, Talking Dirty with the Queen of Clean and The Royal Guide to Spot and Stain Removal. White vinegar, baking soda, club soda, lemon juice, and many others are frequently mentioned cleaning products. Many of her cleaning tips are helpful and successful!

Sherry is a fortified wine, usually brown in color. Wine vinegars are the result of bacterial action increasing the acidity in wine while lowering the alcohol content. Sherry vinegar is a type or sub-set of wine vinegar, often sweeter that most wine vinegars, started from Sherry wine. While other types of wine vinegar often show up in vinigrettes and salad dressing, due to its sweetness and stronger flavor, Sherry Vinegar does so rarely if at all. Other types of wine vinegars include red, white, champagne etc. Sherry vinegar is often used as a substitute for sweetened rice vinegar (Mirin).

Distilled means that a liquid is separated from a mixture, and distilled vinegar is distilled from ethanol. All vinegar is made from this process, so there is no real difference. It is like saying 100% fruit juice is made from fruit.

put in spices like garlic

well because it is very hot because of the vinger pour in to it

Its a liquid... It has the same texture as any other liquid.

==============================================

NO the above is incorrect, if you equate "texture" with "feel" then oil does not feel like water yet they are both liquids.

Vinegar feels like water.

By mixing vinegar and baking soda you get Fizz. this is a reaction between CH3COOH or Acetic acid(commonly known as vinegar) and NaHCO3 or Sodium bicarbonate (commonly known as baking soda).The acetic acid donates a H+ and the Sodium dissolves into the aqueous solution as the [HCO3]- reacts with the H+ to form water and Carbon dioxide. This Carbon dioxide exiting the solution creates that fizz.

You can but I don't see any benefit and it would stink to high heaven

Nope. Its not a homogenous mixture. Homogenous mixtures are uniform throughout, and the parts do not separate from each other. Have you ever looked at Italian dressing (which has vinega and oil in it) after you let it sit in your fridge for any length of time? You can see the oil separate from the rest of the dressing.

No, its shelf life is virtually indefinite, due to its high acid content. With no refrigeration required, it's virtually self-preserving despite the fact that you may see some color change (especially in red wine vinegar), sediment settling or clouding; it's just an aesthetic change and shouldn't degrade the flavor or effectiveness. Vinegar will go bad if kept long enough, especially if it is exposed to the air. The acetic acid will gradually convert to aldehyde. The vinegar loses its acidity, develops an unpleasant odor and taste, and a texture that has been described as "ropey"

as baking soda is a carbonate the reactants would react to give water, carbon dioxide and a salt which someone else may be able to identify but would be a sodium salt of some kind

yes because when u put an egg i regular water it sinks but when u put a egg in vinginer and salt it flots because the salt holds it to the top !

HC2H3O2(aq) + NaHCO3 (s) --> NaC2H3O2(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(l)

This equation is balanced.

In other terms:

Vinegar and baking soda reacts to form sodium acetate in solution, carbon dioxide gas, and water. The "fizz" that is seen is the production of carbon dioxide gas.

Uses for vinegar:

· Kills grass and weeds on walkway, pour (full strength)

· Eliminates animal urine stains from the carpet by mixing equal parts vinegar and water

· Deter ants (spray around doors)

· Remove skunk odour from a dog (full strength)

· Polish car chrome (full strength)

· Soothes a bee sting

· Relieve itching of mosquito or other biting bugs (full strength)

· Relieves sunburn - several applications may be needed

· Deodorize drains (full strength)

· Unclog drain (add baking soda and ½ cup of vinegar) then rinse with hot water.

Vinegar is not just used for salad dressings anymore, there are many good uses for vinegar from uses in the kitchen, bathroom, to cleaning the car.
