Does water or vinegar produce more effervescence when mixed with baking soda?

Only vinegar will create effervescence by releasing carbon dioxide gas. The acetic acid in vinegar reacts with the baking soda (sodium bicarbonate, a base) to form carbonic acid and sodium acetate. The carbonic acid (essentially CO2 dissolved in water) is unstable and decomposes into carbon dioxide and water.

Why do sodium bicarbonate and vinegar react?

The two react because sodium bicarbonate is a base and vinegar is a solution containing an acid. The bicarbonate ion (HCO3-) "steals" a hydrogen ion (H+) from the acetic acid molecules (CH3CO2H), forming carbonic acid (H2CO3) and sodium acetate (NaCH3CO2). The carbonic acid is unstable and immediately decomposes into carbon dioxide and water.
