What is the chemical formula of baking soda and vinegar?
Baking soda, otherwise known as bicarbonate of soda, sodium bicarbonate, and, less commonly, saleratus, is a chemical salt with diverse practical uses. With a chemical formula of NaHCO3, baking soda is a white powder with crystalline grains. Although it can be produced by artificial means, in its natural form, baking soda is called nahcolite, taking its name from its chemical formula. Vinegar is not a pure substance and thus has no specific chemical formula. Vinegar is mainly water (H2O), but is also comprised of acetic acidic (the carboxylic acid which gives vinegar its pungent/sour smell). Acetic acid’s formula is CH3COOH. Vinegar is a liquid produced by the fermentation of alcohol into acetic acid as well as other fermentation by-products. The acetic acid concentration ranges typically from 4 to 8 percent by volume for table vinegar (typically 5%) and higher concentrations for pickling (up to 18%) although in some countries the minimum strength may be less.
