How can one describe effervescence during a chemical reaction?

Effervescence during a chemical reaction is accurately described as the formation of gas bubbles. This phenomenon occurs when a reaction produces gas as a product, causing bubbles to form and rise to the surface. The visual aspect of these bubbles escaping can be a clear indicator that a chemical reaction is taking place, often seen when acids react with carbonates or when certain metals react with acids.

The other descriptions, such as the release of heat, change in color, or emission of light, might also accompany some chemical reactions, but they do not specifically define effervescence. Heat release is associated with exothermic reactions, color change can occur in various reactions irrespective of gas formation, and light emission may occur during reactions that are highly energetic. However, none of these processes directly describe the specific phenomenon of gas bubble formation.
