What happens when you mix apple juice and baking soda

1 answer

When you mix apple juice and baking soda, a chemical reaction occurs. Baking soda, scientifically known as sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3), is a base, while apple juice is an acidic substance. When the base (baking soda) reacts with the acid (apple juice), it produces carbon dioxide gas (CO2), water (H2O), and a salt called sodium citrate. The release of carbon dioxide gas creates bubbles or fizzing in the mixture.
