According to the organic chemistry, the Ethanoic acid can reacts with the sodium hydrogen carbonate to form carbon dioxide and water.
Carbon dioxide is the gas which can produced rushes away from the water and this can form some bubbles during this reaction.
Carboxylic acids are organic compounds and the general chemical formula of this acid is RCOOH.
Here the R is a side group which is made with carbon, hydrogen and few other atoms.
On the other part, -COOH is carboxyl group and they have some polar substances. They have higher boiling points than water.
