Vinegar and Baking soda


The simple home equipment can be life taking if you don't know the basic chemistry behind them.

Vinegar and baking soda are the most common ingredients in your kitchen. 


Sodium bicarbonate, which is commonly known as baking soda is a fine white powder that has the chemical formula NaHCO3. One atom of sodium, one atom of hydrogen, one atom of carbon and three atoms of oxygen combine together to form baking soda.


Vinegar is formed from the aqueous solution of acetic acid with extra added flavors. Acetic acid is the main part of vinegar after water. CH3COOH is the molecular formula for acetic acid.


What happens when vinegar and baking soda are mixed together?

1. Temperature falls down

2. Carbon-dioxide is produced

3. White fume is produced


Drawbacks of vinegar and Baking soda:

1. Causes gas in the stomach if taken one after the other with food.

2. Blows off everything like a candle, a kerosene lamp, or the fire that requires oxygen to glow.



Are you an experimental person? 

Give it a try with precautions:

1. Use eyeglasses

2. Keep children away

3. Do it in an open space otherwise you might die of suffocation. Carbon-dioxide is highly produced during the reaction.

4. Use both the ingredients, i.e. vinegar and baking soda in minimal amount. (250 ml white vinegar + 1 Tbs baking soda)
