it is prodeced when
baking soda + vinegar = carbon dioxide
acetic acid (makes vinegar sour) + sodium bicarbonate (compound in baking soda) = carbonic acid.
It's really a double replacement reaction.
Carbonic acid is unstable, and it immediately falls apart into carbon dioxide and water (it's a decomposition reaction). The bubbles you see from the reaction come from the carbon dioxide escaping the solution that is left.
