Question

What happens when we put vinegar on baking soda?Explain Briefly.

Answer 1

Baking soda and vinegar react with each other because of an acid-base reaction. Baking soda is a bicarbonate (NaHCO3) and vinegar is an acetic acid (HCH3COO). One of the products this reaction creates is carbon dioxide. You can make your own vinegar and baking soda bottle rocket! Take a piece of paper and put some baking soda on it. Wrap it up like a burrito and roll the ends tight. Pour some vinegar into an empty bottle. Put your baking soda paper roll in the bottle, cork the bottle, shake it up and quickly place it on the ground. See how high your rocket will go!
