Answer:
When you put the sherbet on your tongue, the saliva in your mouth causes the citric acid crystals to dissolve. The citric acid reacts with the bicarbonate of soda and produces carbon dioxide gas. The bubbles of carbon dioxide make the fizzy feeling on your tongue. ... Don't eat too much sherbet too quickly.

When we eat refreshing sweets we use endothermic reactions. Inside sherbet sweets there is a mixture of dry citric acid and sodium hydrogen carbonate. When you eat them, these substances dissolve in the water in your saliva, and react together. This gives a cool “ fizzy ” feeling in your mouth which is refreshing.
