Homonym: Fizzing (Effervescence)
Fizzing is a process that occurs when a gas is released from a liquid, creating bubbles. This phenomenon is commonly seen in carbonated beverages, where carbon dioxide gas is dissolved under pressure. When the pressure is released, such as when a bottle is opened, the gas escapes, resulting in the characteristic fizzing sound and effervescence.
Fizzing can also occur in chemical reactions, particularly in acid-base reactions. For example, when an acid like vinegar reacts with a base like baking soda, carbon dioxide gas is produced, leading to fizzing. This reaction is often used in science experiments to demonstrate chemical changes.
