[ Insert a bunch of equation balancing up here - scratched out attempts and so on. ]

10NaHCO₃ + 15C₂H₄O₂ = 2H₂O + 20CO₂ + 10C₂H₃NaO₂

[ Have some scribbles of Wally adding up molar masses of individual elements into the compounds. ]

1M NaHCO₃ = 84 g
1M C₂H₄O₂ = 60 g
1M H₂O = 18 g
1M CO₂ = 44 g
1M C₂H₃NaO₂ = 82 g

840 g Baking Soda + 900 g Acetic Acid = 36 g Water + 880 g Carbon Dioxide + 820 g Sodium Acetate

If distilled vinegar is 5-8% acetic acid, that means you need 11250-18000 g of distilled vinegar for a complete reaction.

1 kg baking soda needs 13.39-21.43 kg of distilled vinegar.

Now where do I get that?

[ Someone should really question Wally's goals here. ]
