I know that it is dangerous to mix certain chemicals, but why? Like what would happen if I were to mix a gallon of bleach and ammonia in my sink, or bleach and vinegar?

Chlorine gas is nasty stuff. Hydrochloric acid is even nastier. Bleach contains a lot of chlorine and oxygen, both of which really wanna be seeing other people. When you introduce other chemicals, the oxygen typically finds a more suitable living arrangement, and then the chlorine looks around until it can buddy up with some hydrogen or chlorine, making chlorine gas or hydrochloric acid.
