Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) and vinegar is dilute acetic acid (CH3COOH).

The equation of the reaction is as follows:

CH3COOH + NaHCO3 ===> NaCH3COO + H2CO3

NaCH3COO is a salt known as sodium acetate. H2CO3 is carbonic acid which quickly breaks down into carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). So the reaction would look like this:

CH3COOH + NaHCO3 ===> NaCH3COO + CO2 + H2O
