Answer:

The mixture of baking soda and vinegar undergoing a reaction is an example of a chemical change.

In this reaction, baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) reacts with vinegar (acetic acid) to produce carbon dioxide gas, water, and a salt called sodium acetate. This reaction results in the formation of entirely new substances with different chemical properties than the original baking soda and vinegar. The production of gas, change in color or temperature, and the formation of new compounds are all indicative of a chemical change. Therefore, the reaction between baking soda and vinegar is a chemical change.

hope it helps. pls mark me brain list :D
