Best Answer

When baking soda and vinegar are mixed, they contaminate together and form an exploding liquid, which won't get very messy unless you mix a lot of it together.

Baking soda + Vinegar (acetic acid) ---> Sodium Acetate + Carbonic acid

NaHCO3 + CH3COOH ---> CH3COONa + H2CO3

The carbonic acid quickly decomposes to give carbon dioxide and water.

H2CO3 ---> CO2 + H2O

So the net reaction is:

NaHCO3 + CH3COOH ---> CH3COONa + CO2 + H2O

When baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) reacts with vinegar (acetic acid), a chemical reaction occurs that produces carbon dioxide gas, water, and a salt. The carbon dioxide gas produced creates bubbles, resulting in fizzing and bubbling.

Why is baking soda effective in cleaning a vinegar spill?

Baking soda will react chemically with vinegar, so cleaning a vinegar spill with baking soda will, if sufficient baking soda is applied, react with all the vinegar and completely eliminate all that vinegar and its smell. The "active ingredient" in vinegar is acetic acid, which is CH3COOH, and its mixed in with water. Baking soda is NaHCO3. The reaction is as follows: CH3COOH + NaHCO3 => NaC2H3O2 + H2CO3
