How Does Baking Powder Affect Vinegar?

Answer Question

2 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating


    Baking Powder and Vinegar are highly reactive with each other. If Baking Powder and Vinegar are mixed together, they cause an exothermic reaction.

    This means that when vinegar is mixed with baking powder or vice verse, the resulting solution expands in volume and causes heat to release. That is why this mixture is usually used for making Volcano models in schools.

      Not Highly reactive but reactive. NaHCO3 is a weak base and vinegar has acetic acid in it. Combine the two and you get CO2 gas, water and Sodium Acetate and some heat. Going from memory here but pretty sure. Wear your safety googles.
