Why would the same amount of gas be produced even if we increase the amount of baking soda?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are not increasing the amount of vinegar, the adding more baking soda has nothing to react with. The limiting reagent is vinegar (or some other acid).

The usual reaction is

HC2H3O2 + NaHCO3 ===> NaC2H3O2 + HOH + CO2 which is the gas being expelled.

If you increase the NaHCO3 nothing more will happen until you increase the vinegar.
