The lemon Juice contains citric acid.
An acid can lose a hydrogen ion (H+).
Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate or NaHCO3.
When baking soda dissolves in water it breaks apart and releases the sodium ion (Na+) and bicarbonate ion (HCO3-). The bicarbonate ion is a base, meaning it can take a hydrogen ion from an acid.
So the bicarbonate ion "steals" an H+ ion from the citric acid to form carbonic acid, H2CO3.
Carbon acid is somewhat unstable and most of it breaks apart into water and carbon dioxide.
Left behind is a citrate salt.
