When vinegar and baking soda are mixed together, a chemical reaction occurs. The reaction produces carbon dioxide gas, which causes the mixture to foam up. All of the baking soda will react with the vinegar and dissolve if enough vinegar is used. The chemical reaction forms carbon dioxide, water, and sodium acetate from the sodium bicarbonate and acetic acid in vinegar and baking soda.

VINEGAR In its original state of The chemical reaction
BAKING SODA composition. No reaction. When baking soda is mixed with vinegar, something new is formed. The mixture quickly foams up with carbon dioxide gas. If enough vinegar is used, all of the baking soda can be made to react and disappear into the vinegar solution.
The reaction is:
Sodium bicarbonate and acetic acid reacts to carbon dioxide, water and sodium acetate.
The physical changes
The solid baking soda was
placed in liquid vinegar producing carbon dioxide gas, which is evident because of the formation of bubbles in the foaming mixture. Eventually all of the solid dissolved and reacted producing a new liquid solution.
During the reaction, a solid
and liquid have been chemically reacted to form a gas and a liquid. This experiment can also be used to explain foams, as liquids or solids containing gas bubbles.
Safety and disposal
Although both reactants are household chemicals and foodstuffs, caution should be taken not to get splashes in the eyes and clothes should be protected. The products of the reaction are relatively safe (Remember - no chemicals should be touched) and can be disposed of by washing down the sink with plenty of water.
1. When vinegar and baking soda are first mixed together,
hydrogen ions in the vinegar react with the sodium and bicarbonate ions in the baking soda. The result of this initial reaction is two new chemicals: carbonic acid and sodium acetate.
2. The chemical reaction
When baking soda is mixed with vinegar, something new is formed. The mixture quickly foams up with carbon dioxide gas. If enough vinegar is used, all of the baking soda can be made to react and disappear into the vinegar solution.
3. The reaction is:
Sodium bicarbonate and acetic acid reacts to carbon dioxide, water and sodium acetate.
