Baking soda.

Baking soda comes in a standard finely ground powder, whereas salt is available in a range of sizes from free-running salt for a salt shaker to salt flakes, to crystals of rock or sea salt to be used in a salt grinder. The bigger the crystals the longer they would take to dissolve.

If a substance is finely ground is has, over all, a greater surface area exposed to the water so it will dissolve quicker. The hotter the water temperature the faster the substance will dissolve. There is a maximum amount of salt you can dissolve into a fixed volume of water after which it becomes a 'saturated solution'. At that point any salt added will no longer dissolve, though by heating the saturated solution you are able to dissolve more - it is then a super-saturated solution. As that begins to cool the salt will crystalise out again and begin to grow on the sides of the container or surface of the liquid.

Will baking soda evaporate faster in water or salt?

Baking soda will evaporate faster in water than in salt. This is because baking soda is water-soluble, meaning it will dissolve in water, while it will just mix with salt but not dissolve.

Does baking soda dissolve faster in hot water or cold water?

It dissolves in both cold and warm.


Why is that salt dissolves faster than baking soda in water?

Salt dissolves faster than baking soda in water because salt molecules are smaller and more easily break apart in water due to stronger interactions with water molecules. Baking soda molecules are larger and need more time to break down and interact with water molecules, resulting in a slower dissolution process.


What dissolves faster baking soda salt or sugar?

Sugar dissolves faster than baking soda and salt in water due to its smaller particle size and unique molecular structure. Baking soda and salt dissolve more slowly because they consist of larger particles that take longer to break down and mix with the water molecules.


Will ice melt faster baking soda salt or ice itself?

Ice will melt faster with salt than with baking soda. Salt lowers the freezing point of water, making it easier for the ice to melt. Baking soda, on the other hand, does not have the same effect on melting ice as salt.
