Why are gas bubbles observed when the sodium bicarbonate is added?

with the reaction of acetic acid + sodium bicarbonate---->sodium acetate + h2co3
the product h2co3 is highly unstable which is eager to break down into its components of H2O and Co2 which is why gas bubbles are observed (its the CO2 that's formed in the process)

Why is sodium bicarbonate added to some caramel recipes?
Sodium bicarbonate acts by forming bubbles (indeed, when it is added, caramel thickens, moss and goes a little up like milk) and the bubbles make the caramel porous. So, it is brittle but does not paste.
Is sodium bicarbonate a product or a reactant?

What liquid turns pink when Sodium Bicarbonate is added?
phenolphthalein
How does the rate of photosynthesis change when sodium bicarbonate is added to the test tube?
the rate of photosynthesis increases as sodium bicarbonate is added to it as long as you stay proportionate to the amount of water in the test tube.
When sulphuric acid is added to sodium bicarbonate why does the colour change?
this makes sodium sulphate and CO2
What is the name of the substance when sodium bicarbonate is added to acetic acid?
Sodium acetate, carbon dioxide and water are the products.
Which colour is produced when universal indicator is added to sodium bicarbonate?
Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate or sodium hydrogen carbonate It is alkaline and will therefore turn universal indicator purple or blue
What happens when sodium bicarbonate is added into silver nitrate?
The reaction is:AgNO3 + NaHCO3 = AgHCO3 + NaNO3
Add Bicarbonate of soda to a beaker of liquid and make a lot of gas bubbles which liquid was using?
Vinegar, when added to bicarbonate of soda (or baking soda), will produce the described effect.
What are the active ingredients in seltzer water?
Aspirin and sodium bicarbonate are the ingredients in Alka Seltzer. Two tablets are the equivalent of two regular aspirin and baking soda, which is an acid reducer in itself. But the sodium bicarbonate in alka seltzer is heat treated.
Reaction of NaOH and carbon dioxide in water?
When carbon dioxide is added to water containing sodium hydroxide carbonate ions are formed but the excess of carbon dioxide produces bicarbonate ions on evaporation a mixture of sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate is obtained.
If sodium bicarbonate is added to your bloodstream and is dissociated what ions are formed?
The ions formed are H+ and (CO3)2-.
