Question

whose example is mixing of baking soda and vinegar?

Answer 1

Vinegar is chemically acetic acid and its chemical formula is CH₃COOH. Baking soda, on the other hand is sodium bicarbonate, which is a mild base. Its chemical formula is NaHCO₃. Hence, when baking soda is added to vinegar, neutralisation reaction takes place and sodium acetate is formed along with water and carbon dioxide. Following is the chemical equation for the reaction

CH₃COOH + NaHCO₃ → CH₃COONa + H₂O + CO₂
