why does vinegar and baking soda together explode!?

Yes,mixing two or more items together will creat a chemical reaction with alot of different substances. I suggest you read up on what your mixing toghether. Your involed with substacnces that could help creat a recipe for a bomb. I suggest you go back to the kitchen and make a new creation by trying some of your cooking skills until your sure of what your mixing together.

Baking soda's chemically known as sodium bicarbonate, so it contains sodium (obviously) as well as hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen (that's the bicarbonate part).

When you have fluids and acids in a can (especially soda, since soda has many acids in it), and so forth...when all the pressure expands in the can... it bursts, because there is no room for it to expand any longer.. \n\nGood luck!! \n\nMichelle -- not too good at science..hope this helps!

Add some baking soda first and then pour on some vinegar. You will observe some bubble forming and the bublbles will rise very quickly. If you want to make fire instead, add some glycerine to potassium permagnate. Be very careful if you want to do this.

Vinegar is a weak acid (Acetic Acid, HC2H3O2).\nAmmonia [and/or Ammonium Hydroxide] is a weak base (NH3 + H2O --> NH4OH).\n\nBy "weak", I am not refering to the reactivity of the substances, but rather the amount the substances will dissassociate into ions in solution.  A weak acid/base will not dissassociate completely into ions in solution as would a "Strong" acid/base would.\n\nWhen you react an acid and base together, you get a neutralization reaction which produces water and a salt.\nIn the case of Ammonia and vinegar, the salt you would producce is Ammonium Acetate (NH4C2H3O2).

Well use a series of steps.\n\n1st step add Calcium Carbonate. This will fizz in the case of the vinegar, as acid plus carbonate gives salt, water and carbon dioxide. U can even test the gas to be CO2, as it turns lime water milky. U will eliminate the vinegar from further tests.\n\n2nd is separate the alcohol from the salt and fresh water. Do this by testing with Cobalt chloride paper. The paper changes from blue to pink if any water is present. The sample which doesn't change the paper would be the alcohol.\n\n3rd is to separate the salt water from the fresh water. Do this by adding silver nitrate followed by aqueous ammonia. Salt contains sodium chloride, so the presence of the Cl- ion will cause the formation of a white precipitate that dissolves in excess alkali.\nSo, the one that produces no ppt is therefore pure water.

hey hun....i have red before to mix a little (tsp) of baking soda with a glass of water....i have never tried it before but if you get adventuress and try it let us know how it work out....love daisy

The baking soda we use for cooking is all made artificially.  You add salt (sodium chloride) and limestone (calcium carbonate) in ammonia- the limestone is there to produce CO2 gas.\n\n\nIn neutral or basic solutions, sodium bicarbonate is less water-soluble than sodium chloride. When carbon dioxide passes through a concentrated solution of sodium chloride and ammonia, sodium bicarbonate precipitates according to the following chemical reaction:\n\nNaCl + CO2 + NH3 + H2O ---> NaHCO3 + NH4Cl \nThe ammonia is necessary to buffer the solution at basic pH. Without it, a hydrochloric acid byproduct would render the solution acidic, and in acidic solutions, the reaction cannot proceed. In industrial practice, the reaction is carried out by passing concentrated salt water through two towers. In the first, ammonia bubbles up through the brine and is absorbed by it. It the second, carbon dioxide bubbles up through the brine and precipitates sodium bicarbonate.

I mix baking soda & hydrogen peroxied together to make a paste & it works great.

In a nut shell, the  rock it self contains  a  carbonaceous base substance like baking soda\n\n If you add vinegar to baking soda it will made the vinegar go up the same will happen to your rock if you add vinegar to it.

make a working volcano with vinegar and baking soda

Because like chemistry, everything you cook has its own recipe with a different outcome.  You mix your liquids, powders and come out with solids.  Even cooking can be your own experiment.  Each ingredient reacts with others differently(baking soda, baking powder, yeast)

Because if the composition is too acidic or too basic one way or the other, the soda could be toxic.\n\nAlso, it wouldn't taste good or sell well.

what!? the lava is a mixture of acid and base, acetic acid from vinegar and base from the baking soda.

I used to live in Bermuda and it was extremely humid. I had to use 1/4 teaspoon more vinegar.

Both baking soda and baking powder are leavening agents, which means they are added to baked goods before cooking to produce carbon dioxide and cause them to 'rise'. Baking powder contains baking soda, but the two substances are used under different conditions. \nBaking Soda \n\nBaking soda is pure sodium bicarbonate. When baking soda is combined with moisture and an acidic ingredient (e.g., yogurt, chocolate, buttermilk, honey), the resulting chemical reaction produces bubbles of carbon dioxide that expand under oven temperatures, causing baked goods to rise. The reaction begins immediately upon mixing the ingredients, so you need to bake recipes which call for baking soda immediately, or else they will fall flat! \n\nBaking Powder \n\nBaking powder contains sodium bicarbonate, but it includes the acidifying agent already (cream of tartar), and also a drying agent (usually starch).

you should probably solve this for yourself. BUT.\n\nsoda/vinegar in a bottle could easily inflate a balloon around the mouth og the bottle, and if the balloon were next to a lit candle, could easily blow the candle out when it pops (because it hit the candle flame)...
