Baking soda = sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3). Vinegar = dilute acetic acid (CH3COOH in water).
Chemical equation (balanced):
NaHCO3 (s) + CH3COOH (aq) → CH3COONa (aq) + H2O (l) + CO2 (g)
Reactants: sodium bicarbonate and acetic acid (vinegar).
Products: sodium acetate (a salt), water, and carbon dioxide gas (the fizzing you see).
This is an acid–base reaction where bicarbonate is neutralized and CO2 is released.
