Baking Soda (sodium bicarbonate)

Baking soda (or sodium bicarbonate, or sodium hydrogen carbonate) is a chemical compound, its formula is NaHCO3. It is a white crystalline that appears to look like a fine powder. In baking, baking soda reacts with acids such as buttermilk or yogurt to produce carbon dioxide, forcing dough to rise. Other uses for baking soda include teeth whitening, body exfoliants, treating insect bites and cleaning tough stains. It is also used in some fire extinguishers as the carbon dioxide given off helps to suffocate fires.

What is the difference between sodium bi sulfate and baking soda?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The anion.

Sodium bi-sulphate has the formula NaHSO4 ; The sulphate anion.

Baking soda is sodium bi-carbonate which has the formula NaHCO3 ; the Carbonate anion.

The sulphate anion does not thermally decompose easily.

The carbonate anion thermally decomposes to form water can carbon dioxide, (to make pastry rise).

Is bicarbonate of soda same as sodium bicarbonate?

Asked by Wiki User

YES!!! THey are just different names for the same chemical.

Other names forthis chmeiucalk are sodium hydrogen carbonate and baking powder.

Its chemical formula is NaHCO3

Is baking soda ionic?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

YES!!!

Baking Soda is Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate , or Sodium bi-carbonate. It chemical formula is NaHCO3.

It will dissolve in water to form the ions 'Na^+' & 'HCO3^-'. That the ionic bit.

The Carbonate bit 'CO3^2- is covalentlty bonded within itself.

Citric acid reation with sodium bicarbonate?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Word Equation

Citric Acid + Sodium bi-carbonate = sodium citrate + water + Carbon dioxide.

The Chemical Eq'n i s

C6H8O7 + 3NaHCO3 = C6H5O7^3-3Na^+ + 3H2O + 3CO3

What is 2.00 grams of baking soda in moles?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Remember moles = mass(g) / Mr

The 'Mr' is the relative molecular mass.

The Mr(Baking soda ; sodium hydrogen carbonate ; NaHCO3) is

Na x 1 = 23 x 1 = 23

H x 1 = 1 x 1 = 1

C x 1 = 12 x 1 = 12

O x 3 = 16 x 3 = 48

23 + 1 + 12 + 48 = 84 ( Mr of NaHCO3)

Hence

mol(NaHCO3) = 2.00g / THe answers!!!!!

Why does baking soda rise?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Baking Soda is Sodium hydrogen carbonate or Sodium bi-carbonate.

A small quantity is mixed into baking dough. When the dough a baked(heated) in the oven , the sodium hydrogen carbonate undergoes 'thermal decomposition'. To form carbon dioxide gas. It is Carbon dioxide gas when released that makes the dough rise, ( into a matrix of 'little holes'.

How do you separate baking soda and water?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

To separate baking soda and water, you can use a method called evaporation. Pour the mixture into a wide, shallow container and leave it in a well-ventilated area. As the water evaporates, the baking soda will be left behind as a solid residue that can be easily separated.

What is the shelf life of baking soda?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Baking soda has an indefinite shelf life if stored properly in a cool, dry place. However, it may lose its potency over time, which can affect its ability to leaven baked goods. To test if it's still active, you can add a little baking soda to vinegar; if it fizzes, it's still good to use.

Can baking soda subsitute for baking soda in a recipe?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, baking soda cannot substitute for baking soda because they are the same thing. Baking soda is just another name for sodium bicarbonate.

How many atoms of each element are in one molecule of baking soda?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Baking soda is the chemical sodium hydrogen carbonate

The formula is NaHCO3

So 1 molecule of baking soda has

1 x sodium

1 x hydrogen

1 x carbon

3 x oxygen atoms in its compound.

NB Baking soda is also known as 'Sodium bi-carbonate'

Do not confuse with Sodium carbonate ( Na2CO3), which is known as washing soda, or soda crystals.

Instead of brushing your dogs teeth, try giving him a rawhide to clean them. They also sells bones that dogs can chew on the are supposed to clean teeth and make their breath smell better. If all you are looking for is the breath smelling better, they sell dog breath mints.

Can baking soda kill fleas on cats?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

yes baking soda is safe, as is talcum powder or baby powder. Both substances are good home remedies for killing fleas on your pet ... the powders will smother the fleas. When applying either powder, apply to the animals head first, which will prevent fleas from running towards the head as the powder is applied elsewhere.

Is baking soda fizzing when mixed with vinegar a physical or chemical change?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is a chemical reaction. Baking soda contains carbonate ions, which react with hydrogen ions from the acetic acid in vinegar according to the ionic equation:

CO3-2 + 2 H+ -> CO2 + H2O. CO2 is a gas at standard temperature and pressure. CO2 formation causes the fizzing, as the gas escapes from the other product and the still unreacted baking soda and vinegar.

====================================================

Well, you completely deleted my very simple and responsive answer and made it a little more complicated.

As I said in my first response, this is a chemical reaction involving the combination of an acid and a base. When an acid and base combine, the reaction easily moves forward forming a salt. This is a chemical reaction. I should have also added that the byproducts were also included water and CO2 and perhaps some unreacted original products depending upon the amount of each supplied.

Along the lines of your response a more complete response would be:

CH3COOH + Na(HCO3) -> H2O + NaOCOCH3 + CO2

vinegar is mostly a weak acetic acid - CH3COOH and water.

baking soda is essentially - Na(HCO3)

The sodium precipitate on the right side is the residue I was speaking of. It is by definition, a salt.

(You shouldn't have erased my answer because it wasn't wrong and completely responsive to the question. I rather doubt the person making the query wanted to know THAT much about it. Now you want to balance this equation for everyone?)

What does baking soda and vingear make a gass?

User Avatar

Asked by Katlynekohoutgp1595

There are two reaction pathways that get you that gas. First of all, baking soda, which is sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) reacts in a double replacement reaction with vinegar, which is acetic acid (HC2H3O2). Here's the equation for that: NaHCO3 + HC2H3O2 --> NaC2H3O2 + H2CO3. Your products are sodium acetate (a water-soluble salt) and carbonic acid. Then, the carbonic acid immediately decomposes into water and carbon dioxide. Here's the equation for that: H2CO3 --> H2O + CO2. The bubbles you see are the CO2 from the second reaction pathway.
