<span>The gas that is formed is a different state of matter from the baking soda and lemon juice. The lemon juice has a different odor or smell than the gas. There is no color in the gas, while the lemon juice is yellow, and the baking soda is white.
^^^^^ hope this helps you! :) </span>

Answer:

Gas released in this process is a totally different chemical substance in comparison to the baking soda and lemon juice. It should be Carbon Dioxide formed during the reaction.

Explanation:

We have a baking soda in a glass: it is composed of water and baking soda (NaHCO3). We have lemon juice, its main component is the citric acid (H3C6H5O7). After that, both liquids are mixed and an acid-base reaction occurs.

The reaction releases gas, which should be carbon dioxide (CO2), according to this reaction:

H3C6H5O7 (aq) + 3 NaHCO3 (aq) → 3 CO2 (g) +3H2O (l) + Na3C6H5O7 (aq)

The products of this reaction are Water (H2O) a Salt and carbon dioxide. As carbon dioxide is in the gas phase, it will be released from the liquid mixture as bubbles.

Finally, we can conclude that Gas released in this process is a totally different chemical substance in comparison to the baking soda and lemon juice. It should be Carbon Dioxide formed during the reaction.
