Solution

When baking soda (Sodium hydrogen carbonate) is mixed with lemon juice (citric acid), bubbles are formed. The bubbles are formed due to the evolution of carbon dioxide gas. This is a chemical change.
In this change, citric acid contained in lemon juice reacts with sodium hydrogen carbonate which results in the evolution of carbon dioxide gas.
Lemon juice( Citric acid) + Baking soda (Sodium hydrogen carbonate) â†’ Carbon dioxide + Other substances
