Discussion:

Why did the sherbet not foam on the paper but it did in my mouth?

• When an acid is mixed with a carbon carbonate they react to from carbon dioxide gas, water and salt the bubbles on your tongue are carbon dioxide and the reaction is sped up because the mixture dissolves the saliva. The breakdown of citric acid into carbon dioxide is a very important process inside your body and it's called carboxylic. 
  
  

What was the chemical reaction in the sherbet?

• The chemical reaction is made from citric acid and sodium bicarbonate. A reaction is caused by bubbles of carbon dioxide when dry ingredients get wet from saliva.
