If you added washing soda crystals to vinegar, what would you see happening?

Soda crystals react with acid to give off carbon dioxide, this is the only clue I know.If you added washing soda crystals to vinegar, what would you see happening?
Sodium Carbonate plus acetic acid = fizzing as carbon diozide is released and leaves sodium acetate behind and water.





Not explosive in the true definition, but in a sealed container the production of the gas will pressurise and then blow a hole in the container if the pressure gets too great.





Washing soda aka Soda Crystals are not the same as baking Soda...which is bicarbonate of soda, plus other raising agents.If you added washing soda crystals to vinegar, what would you see happening?
I have not heard of 'washing soda crystals- but if it has baking soda in it, if you mix the two, you will have an 'explosion', if the mixture is put in a sealed container. If this is an assignment for school, why not do the homework instead of spending the time trying to get the answer.
you would probably see fizzing and bubbling
a bubbly salad that erodes the Ozone.
