its got something to do with a base and an acid

Chemicals that make things fizz include carbon dioxide, which is often released from Carbonated Beverages like sodas when they are opened, and baking soda combined with an acid like vinegar, which creates a carbon dioxide gas that produces the fizzing reaction commonly seen in baking recipes.
No, gypsum does not fizz in hydrochloric acid (HCl) like carbonate minerals do. Gypsum is a sulfate mineral composed of calcium sulfate dihydrate, so it does not react with HCl to produce carbon dioxide gas like carbonates do.
When washing soda (sodium carbonate) comes in contact with something acidic, such as vinegar or lemon juice, it will fizz due to a chemical reaction that releases carbon dioxide gas. This fizzing occurs as the carbon dioxide gas is produced and escapes from the solution.
Things that can damage aquifers include contamination from chemicals, pollutants, and waste materials, over-extraction of groundwater leading to depletion, and land-use practices that disrupt natural recharge processes.
No, an acid does not fizz when it becomes neutral. Fizzing typically occurs when an acid reacts with a base to produce water and a salt. When an acid becomes neutral, it simply loses its acidic properties and does not undergo a fizzing reaction.
Minerals that typically fizz when in contact with hydrochloric acid include calcite, dolomite, and limestone. This fizzing occurs because these minerals contain calcium carbonate, which reacts with the acid to produce carbon dioxide gas.
