due to the release of gases like carbon dioxide from solution

Effervescence occurs when gas is released in a liquid, creating bubbles that rise to the surface. This can happen due to a chemical reaction, such as when carbon dioxide is released from a carbonated drink, or from a physical process, such as shaking a bottle of soda.
The noun form for the adjective effervescent is effervescence.
The effervescence in HCl (hydrochloric acid) typically occurs when it reacts with a metal that produces hydrogen gas. The effervescence is the formation of bubbles of gas, in this case hydrogen, as the metal is consumed in the reaction with the acid.
No, diamonds do not have effervescence. Effervescence typically refers to the bubbling or fizzing that occurs when a substance reacts with an acid to produce gas. Diamonds do not react with acids in a way that would produce effervescence.
When sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) is exposed to an acidic environment, such as vinegar or lemon juice, it undergoes a chemical reaction that releases carbon dioxide gas. This gas forms bubbles, creating the effervescence seen when NaHCO3 is mixed with an acid.
Effervescence is observed when hydrochloric acid is added to a broken stalagmite made of calcium carbonate because the acid reacts with the calcium carbonate to produce carbon dioxide gas. This gas is released in the form of bubbles, creating the fizzing or effervescence effect.
