Why do acids fizz?

Answer 1

They don't. They do in Cartoons and other fictional treatments, because it's a lot more visually exciting to show something fizzing than to show a liquid just sitting there looking remarkably like water.

However, many acids will produce bubbles of gas when they react with other substances. Many acids will break down carbonates and bicarbonates, releasing carbon dioxide gas. The vinegar-baking soda reaction is an example of this as acetic acid reacts with sodium bicarbonate. Some acids, particularly strong ones, will react with some metals to produce bubbles of hydrogen gas.

Answer 2

Acids can fizz when they react with certain substances, such as metals or carbonates, to release gas. This gas is often carbon dioxide, which bubbles out of the solution, creating the fizzing effect.

Answer 3

If you were adding a substance to the acid, the substance reacted with the acid to form a gas (most likely H2)which appears in the liquid as bubbles.

Answer 4

The bubbles in soda are caused by the carbonation. Which is also the carbon-dioxide that is in soda:)

Answer 5

THE more amount of acid that is highly conentrated the mor amount of bubbles

Answer 6

Presuming you mean when something reacts in there, the same amount of bubbles will be produced at a faster rate.The volume of gas produced is the same. This will only happen in a 'fair test'.

Answer 7

The substance that fizzes with acid to form carbon dioxide is bicarbonate. This is generally in the form of the sodium bicarbonate salt. Carbonate has the form CO3^2-.

Answer 8

Bubbles usually end up in water because something has brought air down into it.

Answer 9

pineapple. it is a definite answer.

Answer 10

acid bubbles are acid bubbles
