Soda pop, many people's favorite beverage, is made up of mostly water with a little carbon dioxide and a little sweetener and flavoring.

Baking Soda or Sodium Bicarbonate (NaHCO3) is a weak base that technically does not contain water (H2O). However, its conjugate acid, Carbonic Acid (H2CO3) is a unique molecule that that will dissociate into Water (H2O) and Carbon Dioxide (CO2).

Carbonic Acid is responsible for both the fizz as well as the acidity of soda pop.

The conversion from Sodium Bicarbonate into Carbonic Acid, then dissociating into Water and Carbon Dioxide is also responsible for the fizz in Alka-Seltzer.
