effervescencenoun
the escape of gas from solution in a liquid, especially the escape of carbon dioxide from a carbonated drink
Etymology: From effervescence.
Samuel Johnson's Dictionary
Effervescencenoun
The act of growing hot; production of heat by intestine motion.
Etymology: from efferveo, Latin.
In the chymical sense, effervescence signifies an intestine motion, produced by mixing two bodies together that lay at rest before; attended sometimes with a hissing noise, frothing, and ebullition. John Arbuthnot, on Aliments.
Take chalk, ignite it in a crucible, and then powder it: put it into strong spirit of nitre, ’till it becomes sweetish, and makes no effervescence upon the injection of the chalk. Nehemiah Grew.
Hot springs do not owe their heat to any colluctation or effervescence of the minerals in them, but to subterranean heat or fire. John Woodward, Natural History, p. iii.
Wikipedia
Effervescence
Effervescence is the escape of gas from an aqueous solution and the foaming or fizzing that results from that release. The word effervescence is derived from the Latin verb fervere (to boil), preceded by the adverb ex. It has the same linguistic root as the word fermentation.Effervescence can also be observed when opening a bottle of champagne, beer or carbonated beverages such as some carbonated soft drinks. The visible bubbles are produced by the escape from solution of the dissolved gas (which itself is not visible while dissolved in the liquid). Although CO2 is most common for beverages, nitrogen gas is sometimes deliberately added to certain beers. The smaller bubble size creates a smoother beer head. Due to the poor solubility of nitrogen in beer, kegs or widgets are used for this.In the laboratory, a common example of effervescence is seen if hydrochloric acid is added to a block of limestone. If a few pieces of marble or an antacid tablet are put in hydrochloric acid in a test tube fitted with a bung, effervescence of carbon dioxide can be witnessed. CaCO 3 + 2 HCl ⟶ CaCl 2 + H 2 O + CO 2 ↑ {\displaystyle {\ce {CaCO3 + 2 HCl -> CaCl2 + H2O + CO2 (^)}}} This process is generally represented by the following reaction, where a pressurized dilute solution of carbonic acid in water releases gaseous carbon dioxide at decompression:

effervescence
Effervescence is a chemical process that results in the formation of bubbles and fizzing in a liquid, typically due to the presence or introduction of a gas. This phenomenon is often observed in carbonated beverages or when certain substances, like antacid tablets, are dissolved in water. Effervescence can also describe a vibrant or lively quality.

Effervescence
Effervescence is the escape of gas from an aqueous solution and the foaming or fizzing that results from a release of the gas. The word effervescence is derived from the Latin verb fervere, preceded by the adverb ex. It has the same linguistic root as the word fermentation, a complex biochemical reaction leading amongst others to the production of carbon dioxide and to the subsequent liberation of CO2 gas from a solution when it becomes supersaturated with respect to this gas. The making of beer, wine, or champagne by fermentation is thus accompanied by effervescence of CO2 from the barrel where the process occurs. Effervescence can also be observed when opening a bottle of champagne, beer or carbonated beverages such as soft drinks. The visible bubbles are produced by the escape from solution of the dissolved gas. In the laboratory, a common example of effervescence is seen if hydrochloric acid is added to a block of limestone. If a few pieces of marble or an antacid tablet are put in hydrochloric acid in a test tube fitted with a bung, effervescence of carbon dioxide can be witnessed. This process is generally represented by the following reaction, where a pressurized dilute solution of carbonic acid in water releases gaseous carbon dioxide at decompression:
