Baking Soda plus Vinegar Chemical Reaction Explanation

Hello! Chemistry lover,today we are going to know the reaction between baking soda plus vinegar .

The chemical formula for 
baking soda is  NaHCO₃.

Baking soda means sodium bicarbonate or sodium hydrogen carbonate.




On the otherhand,the vinegar is 6-10 % Acetic acid.The formula for vinegar will be  CH₃COOH.The IUPAC name for acetic acid is ethanoic acid.

             Step-1:

NaHCO₃(s) + CH₃COOH (l)

=CH₃COONa(aq) + H₂CO₃(l)

                
                  Step-2:
H₂CO₃ is very unstable.So 


it will be decomposed.
 
H₂CO₃(l )=CO₂(g) +H₂O(l)
   
           

           Step-3



Now add these step(1) and step(2).

NaHCO₃(s)+ CH₃COOH (l)


=CH₃COONa(aq.) +CO₂(g) +H₂O(l)

●l >>>>means liquid
●S>>>> means solid
●g >>>>means gas
●aq. >>>>means aqueous

●NaHCO₃>>Baking soda or sodium hydrogen carbonate or sodium bicarbonate




●CH₃COOH>>Ethanoic acid or acetic acid or vinegar



●CH₃COONa>>Sodium ethanoate or Sodium acetate

●CO₂>>>>Carbodioxide

●H₂O>>water

●H₂CO₃>>>carbonic acid




 ●Baking soda reacts with 

vinegar and produce water, 

carbondioxide and sodium 

acetate. This is a double 

displacement reaction.This 

is also a endothermic 

reaction because heat will decrease.
