Discussion: 

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

What was the chemical reaction in the sherbet?

The fizzing sensation experienced when eating sherbet is a result of the chemical reaction between the citric acid and sodium bicarbonate. This reaction also produces small bubbles of carbon dioxide but only when the dry ingredients are wet by saliva in the mouth.

What type of chemical reaction is this?
