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.
