Coke is an acid.
No, both Coke and Pepsi are also acids. You need a base, like baking soda to neutralize an acid.
Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and Coke (carbonated water with phosphoric acid) react together because the acid in the Coke reacts with the base in the baking soda to produce carbon dioxide gas. This reaction creates fizzing and bubbling due to the release of carbon dioxide gas.

Baking soda, which is a base, reacts with the acid in Coca-Cola (phosphoric acid) to produce carbon dioxide gas. This reaction results in fizzing and bubbling as the carbon dioxide gas is released.

Yes, baking powder can create a foaming reaction when mixed with Coke. This occurs because baking powder contains both an acid and a base, which react with the carbonic acid in Coke to produce carbon dioxide gas. The release of gas results in bubbles and foam. However, the reaction might not be as vigorous as with baking soda, which is a stronger base.
Baking soda, NaHCO3 is a more weak base, than being a (very) weak acid. pH about 8.0
