No baking soda is sodium bicarbonate, and is a base not an acid. Muriatic acid is also called hydrochloric acid.
Baking soda will raise pH levels, muriatic acid will lower pH levels
Answ:: I think, if I am not mistaken, that baking soda will raise the alkalinity faster than it will raise the pH levels. Soda ash will raise pH levels.

"Raise in alkalinity" and "raise in pH level" are the same thing.
What else can I help you with?
How should muriatic acid be disposed of properly, and can baking soda be used to neutralize it before disposal?
Muriatic acid should be disposed of properly by diluting it with water and then neutralizing it with baking soda before disposal. Baking soda can be used to neutralize muriatic acid by slowly adding it to the diluted acid until it stops fizzing. This neutralized solution can then be safely disposed of according to local regulations.
What mixed with water will neutralize muriatic acid?
Soda ash, i.e. Sodium carbonate or its bicarbonate
How can I safely dispose of muriatic acid using baking soda?
To safely dispose of muriatic acid using baking soda, slowly add baking soda to the acid in a well-ventilated area. Stir the mixture until it stops fizzing, then neutralize it with more baking soda if needed. Once neutralized, you can safely dispose of the mixture down the drain with plenty of water. Be sure to wear protective gear and follow proper safety precautions.
Is baking soda the same thing as baking powder?
No, baking soda and baking powder are not the same. Baking soda is a single ingredient (sodium bicarbonate) while baking powder is a mixture of baking soda, an acid, and a starch.
What is the chemical reaction of muriatic acid and baking soda?
The reaction is: NaHCO3 + HCl = NaCl + CO2 + H2O The correct name of HCl is hydrochloric acid.
Is baking powder and bicarbonate soda the same in baking?
Baking powder usually is just bicarbonate of soda, that is, baking soda, mixed with an acid. The baking soda and the acid together produce carbon dioxide and acts as a leavening agent.
How can muriatic acid be neutralized for safe disposal?
Muriatic acid can be neutralized for safe disposal by slowly adding a base, such as baking soda or ammonia, to the acid while stirring constantly. This will help to neutralize the acid and make it safe to dispose of in accordance with local regulations.
What are Muriatic acid neutralizers?
Muriatic acid (known also as hydrochloric acid) is neutralized by titration (mixing) with an alkali. Easily obtained alkalis are caustic soda, caustic potash etc. You can see the need for care when handling these strong corrosive chemicals.
Is bi-carb soda the same as citric acid?
No, bicarbonate soda (baking soda) and citric acid are different compounds. Baking soda is a base, while citric acid is an acid. When combined, they can react to create carbon dioxide gas, leading to leavening in baking.
Should you use baking soda or soda ash to raise the ph level of your pool?
Use Soda Ash to increase the PH level. Baking soda can be used to maintain the alkalinity of the pool water. Just the opposite!!!! Baking Soda will increase or raise the alk. Soda Ash raises the pH. Muriatic Acid lowers pH. k
Is Baking soda a common acid?
No, Baking Soda or Sodium Bicarbonate is not an acid. It is alkaline
Is baking soda alkali or acid?
Baking Soda is definitely not an Acid, so it is an Alkali
