Vinegar is a solution of a carboxylic acid (acetic acid) which means that most metal compounds (particulaly alkaline metal compounds found in group 1 in the periodic table) will react with it to produce salts, carbon dioxide and water. Sodium Carbonate is a common example of a alkaline metal compound that reacts readily with vinegar.

Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and calcium carbonate (CaCO3) can react with an acid, such as vinegar or hydrochloric acid, to produce carbon dioxide gas. This reaction is commonly used in baking and can be observed during effervescence.
The reaction between sodium and carbon dioxide does not produce a specific compound. Similarly, sodium does not directly react with carbon monoxide to produce a specific compound.
When carbon reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid, it produces carbon dioxide gas and water. The chemical reaction can be represented by the equation: C + 2HCl -> CO2 + 2H2O
Carbon dioxide is not considered an inert gas. It is a greenhouse gas that can react chemically in certain conditions. Inert gases typically refer to gases like helium, neon, and argon, which are chemically stable and do not readily react with other substances.
Hydrogen. Nitrogen from the air can react with hydrogen to produce ammonia for fertilizer in the Haber-Bosch process.
When carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen react, they can form a variety of organic compounds such as carbohydrates (e.g., sugars), alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, acids (such as acetic acid), and organic compounds like methane and ethylene. The specific substances formed depend on the conditions of the reaction and the ratios of the elements involved.
