How do vinegar and baking soda react?
That's interesting. Can you tell me what causes the reaction to occur?
I'd be happy to! The reaction is caused by the acetic acid in the vinegar reacting with the sodium bicarbonate in the baking soda. This reaction forms carbonic acid, which is unstable and decomposes into water and carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide gas then fills the bubbles and causes the fizz.
