Baking soda is also known as sodium bicarbonate and its molecular formula is NaHCO3. The formula for acetic acid is CH3COOH. Vinegar is the 5% solution of acetic acid in water. Baking soda is combined with vinegar to yield sodium acetate and carbonic acid. When sodium bicarbonate is dissolved in water, it splits into bicarbonate ions and sodium ions. NaHCO3 ——> Na+(aq) + HCO3-(aq) Acetic acid discomposes in acetate ion and a hydrogen ion or a proton.
