The
bubbling is a chemical reaction between a base and an acid. A base is a compound that gives off negatively charged hydrogen
ions when dissolved in water, and an acid is a compound that gives off positively charged hydrogen ions when dissolved in
water. When you mix the baking soda (a base) with the lemon or orange soda (an acid), they react and produce a fizzy gas called
carbon dioxide. (The bubbles in store-bought sodas are also created by carbon dioxide, but they're added under pressure to
water.)
