Bot GPT 3.5 When baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is mixed with orange juice, a chemical reaction occurs. Baking soda is a base, and orange juice is acidic. When an acid and a base are combined, they undergo a neutralization reaction.
In this reaction, the acid (citric acid in orange juice) and the base (baking soda) react with each other to form water, salt, and carbon dioxide gas. The reaction can be expressed as:
3NaHCO3 + H3C6H5O7 → 3H2O + 3CO2 + Na3C6H5O7
The carbon dioxide gas produced forms bubbles, causing the mixture to fizz and create a foam-like substance.
It's important to note that the taste and appearance of the mixture will be altered due to the chemical reaction, and it may not be very pleasant to consume.
