2NaHCO3 + CH3COOH gives CO2 which causes effervesence.

vinegar contains acetic acid with formula CH3COOH
baking soda contains sodium bicarbonate with formula NaHCO3. When baking soda is added to vinegar following reaction takes place --
CH3COOH + NaHCO3 = CH3COONa + H2O + CO2
This Carbon di oxide(CO2) gas that is produced within the acid tries to come out of the bottle make the vinegar to explode

It is based on the raction between acids (vinegar) and bases (baking soda). As the two combine they produce CO2 and water. the CO2 is what explodes out of the bottle.

What occurs is that this: the acetic acid (that's what makes vinegar bitter) reacts with sodium bicarbonate (a compound that's in baking soda) to style carbonic acid. that's particularly a double replace reaction. Carbonic acid is volatile, and it on the instant falls aside into carbon dioxide and water (that's a decomposition reaction). The bubbles you spot from the reaction come from the carbon dioxide escaping the answer that's left. Carbon dioxide is heavier than air, so, it flows basically approximately like water while it overflows the field. that's a gasoline which you exhale (nonetheless in small quantities), for the reason that's a made of the reactions that shop your physique going. what's left is a dilute answer of sodium acetate in water.

The vinegar mainly contains CH3COOH (acetic acid) and baking soda is an alkali (NaHCO3).When baking soda is added to vinegar, immediately CO2 is produced which comes out of the bottle as effervescence.
CH3COOH + NaHCO3 = CH3COONa +CO2 +H2O.
It is CO2 which is the source of fast coming out gas.

Vinegar
Chemical name : acetic acid
Formula : CH3COOH
Baking soda
Chemical name : Sodium bicarbonate
Formula : NaHCO3
When a carbonate reacts with an acid, it forms carbon dioxide & this results in the explosion.
In other words, it is not the vinegar which explodes but the carbon dioxide produced which causes the explosion.

The vinegar doesn't explode.
It reacts with the baking soda (NaHCO3) and forms CO2 gas as part of the reaction.
The CO2 is exploding out.

Baking soda is NaHCO3, vinegar is weak acid. they product CO2, so once u open the bottle, it explodes.

baking soda (NaOH) + Vinegar (CH3COOH) reacts = CH3COONa+H2O makes Sodium Acetate thats explode out of a bottle.

It is an Acid(vinegar)-Base(Sodium HYdrogen Carbonate-baking soda) neutralization reaction......
the foam is all carbon dioxide released in the reaction

vinegar = acid
bakin soda = base
thus reaction between 2 produces co2 thus presure inside increses a lot n finaly it xplods the botle
