Vinegar and Baking Soda - Reaction of Product with Fire - White Smoke
« on: October 30, 2021, 03:39:27 PM »
Hi!

In a recent lab, we mixed baking soda with vinegar to make CO2. Upon placing a burning splint above the test tube (after the CO2 was formed), a white smoke was formed and sunk to the bottom.

Can anybody help me understand what this gas actually was?

The actual lab was about how CO2 puts out the burning splint - this is just a curiosity!

You mean what was the smoke made off?

It is not a single gas, it is a mixture of numerous compounds (similar to those produced in dry distillation of wood) plus some solids.
