What happens if you mix vinegar and baking soda?

Vinegar is chemically composed of acetic acid with a chemical structural formula of CH3COOH. Baking soda is chemically composed of sodium bicarbonate with structural formula of NaHCO3. Combination of these two distinct compound results into chemical reaction producing distinct chemical products and byproducts. The reaction between baking soda and vinegar is a chemical process starting with an acid base reaction followed by a decomposition reaction. The resulting reaction releases H+ ion, carbonic acid (H2CO3), and sodium acetate (CH3COONa). The carbonic acid immediately decomposes to water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2). In summary, the combination of vinegar and baking soda produces sodium acetate, hydrogen ion gas, carbon dioxide, and water.
