kitchen chemistry lemon juice and baking soda

This experiment will give you the same reaction as mixing baking soda and vinegar. However, instead of using vinegar as the acid you use lemon juice which smells a lot nicer. Just take 1/2 a tablespoon of lemon juice and mix it with 1/2 a tablespoon of baking soda. The chemical reaction is citric acid (lemon juice) + sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) yields carbon dioxide gas and sodium citric (a salt).
