Baking soka mixed with acid makes what?

Answer 1

BAKING SODA & VINEGAR
In fact, baking soda and vinegar are combined to make the effects for paper mache volcanoes because one of the final products in the reaction, carbon dioxide, is heavier than air, and although it is a gas, when it is released in heavy concentrations it looks like white lava when it flows out of the volcano. (If you’ve ever seen the smoke from dry ice, this is the same reaction/result.)

But what underlies the reactivity of baking soda and vinegar to one another?

Vinegar is impure, diluted acetic acid. It has a chemical formula of C2H4O2. (Acetic acid is a weak acid, because it only gives up one H+ (hydroxide) ion when mixed with an aqueous solution.) Baking soda, also known as bicarbonate of soda or sodium bicarbonate, is a base. It’s chemical formula is NaHCO3.

Acids and bases are highly reactive to each other because when they are combined with water, acids release H+ hydrogen ions and bases release OH- hyodroxide ions. When acids and bases are combined together, the released hydrogen and hydroxide ions join to form H2O water molecules
One of the reasons these reactions are useful is that acids are corrosive, and bases are commonly used to neutralize them (producing water and a salt in the reactions as seen below) in process that continues until equalization is reached -- that is, until either all of the loose H+ ions and/or all of the -OH ions have combined with each other. Whichever one of these ions is left over in the solution will determine the resulting pH of the solution. (On the pH scale of 0 to 14, neutral is 7, anything below 7 is an acid, and anything above 7 is a base.)

The reaction.

A chemical reaction is defined as a transformation resulting in a change of composition, constitution and/or configuration of a compound. There are six types of chemical reactions -- combustion, synthesis, single displacement, double displacement, decomposition, and acid/base.

The combination of vinegar and baking soda results in what is known as a multi-step reaction. What looks like one reaction is actually two. The reaction between vinegar and baking soda is an acid/base reaction, followed by a decomposition reaction.

The first is an acid/base reaction.

C2H4O2 + NaHCO3 --> NaC2H3O2 + H2CO3
The precipitate of this reaction is sodium acetate, which is an inorganic, non-water ionic

product commonly referred to as a salt.

The second reaction is a release of carbon dioxide in what is known as a decomposition reaction. H2CO3 is carbonic acid. This molecule is unstable, and it immediately dissolves into carbon dioxide and water.

[edit]H2co3 --> H2o + Co2

IF YOU PUT VINEGAR IN A SODA POP BOTTLE ( GLASS) TYPE AND TAKE A BALLOON FILL IT WITH BAKING SODA THEN PUT THE BALLOON OVER TOP OF THE MOUTH OF THE BOTTLE SO ITS HANGING ON THE BAKING SODA WILL POUR INTO THE BOTTLE THUS THE CARBON DIOXIDE WILL BUILD UP IN THE BOTTLE BLOWING UP THE BALLOON TILL IT BLOWS OF THE BOTTLE TOP.

Answer 2

Well, it truly depends on your acid for an accurate answer. However, baking soda is your basic "base" and anytime you mix a "base" with an "acid" you end up with water (H2O) and a salt. This is not necessarily your table salt, but any given salt (dependent on your acid). This type of reaction is called a "neutralization reaction" as the base and acid neutralize each other.

Answer 3

baking soka acid, isn't vinegar an acid? it makes it generate gas which usually exceeds the volume of the container and explodes.

Answer 4

A hellava mess...chemically speaking. I think it wakes a neutral solution. Baking soda is an acid reducer...a buffer, I think

Answer 5

LS is right. If you use acetic acid (vineger) you get a big foamy thing that is CO2 gas filled water. What you use for volcanos in elementry school.

Answer 6

Bubbles

Answer 7

a mess
just like on the brady bunch, just without the gay innuendos

Answer 8

A bad trip!

Answer 9

Which acid?

Answer 10

Well i think you mean soda. But i think it makes a mini volcano explosion.
