What is the type of chemical reaction that vinegar, baking soda, and dish soap have?

Reaction 1: Two reactions are occurring:
sodium bicarbonate + acetic acid  sodium acetate + carbonic acid
carbonic acid  carbon dioxide + water
Add a teaspoon of dish soap to a cup of vinegar and mix well. Add a table spoon of baking soda to the vinegar soap mixture.

What are the two reactions that occur? I only noticed one and that was when I added baking soda.

what is the type of chemical reaction that vinegar, baking soda, and dish soap have (Combustion, decomposition, etc.) and what is the balanced chemical equation of this reaction?

Step-by-step explanation:

The reaction between baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and vinegar (dilute acetic acid) generates carbon dioxide gas, which is used in chemical volcanoes and other projects.
