how would you show that carbon dioxide gas is released when acetic acid reacts with Sodium Bicarbonate

The reaction of sodium bicarbonate and acetic acid forms the salt sodium acetate, plus carbon dioxide gas and water;-
NaHCO3 + CH3COOH ——→ CH3COONa + H2O + CO2
Because carbon dioxide is a gas, the mixture will foam as carbon dioxide is produced and the gas expands in volume. This reaction is the basis for the familiar “erupting volcano” which you may have made as a science project or seen at a science fair.

NaHCO3 +CH3COOH ---> CH3COONa + H2O + CO2
i.e when acetic acid(CH3COOH) reacts with sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) then it forms a salt known as sodium ethanoate(commonly known as sodium acetate, CH3COONa),carbon dioxide and water.
