Does bubbles occur in cold water when baking soda is added?

When baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is added to cold water, a chemical reaction does not take place; thus, bubbles do not occur.

To observe the formation of bubbles, baking soda should be mixed with an acid, such as vinegar. When these two compounds come into contact, carbon dioxide gas forms, causing fizzing and the release of bubbles. This reaction is commonly used in baking to create a leavening effect, producing fluffy baked goods like cakes and cookies.
