Acetic acid = CH3COOH
Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate, NaHCO3.
NaHCO3(aq) + CH3COOH(aq) ==> CH3COONa(aq) + H2CO3(aq) ==> H2O(l) + CO2(g)
moles NaHCO3 used = 5 NaHCO3 x 1 mol NaHCO3/84 g = 0.0595 moles NaHCO3
moles CO2 produced = 00595 mol NaHCO3 x 1 mol CO2/mol NaHCO3 = 0.0595 moles CO2
At STP, 1 mol of an ideal gas = 22.4 L
Volume of CO2 = 0.0595 moles x 22.4 L/mole = 1.33 L = 1 L (1 sig. fig.)

I'm sorry! It is reacting with acetic acid.05/05/20
