I think it is carbonate. I think it is carbonate. Cola is basically phosphoric acid (55%) and sugar (10%) which gives it a PH of about 2.6 (similar to vinegar). Soda water is much less acidic but is still mildly acidic from the carbonic acid created when carbon dioxide is dissolved in water. The three(3) acid ingredients in most sodas are (1) carbonic acid, (2) (ortho) phosphoric acid, and (3) benzoic acid; all contribute to "tartness", and the last is a preservative!

Can you substitute baking powder for bi - carbonate soda in Anzac biscuits?
I have found this on line... but have also noted from my own personal experimentation.. (i used the same quantity and then threw in an extra half a teaspoon.. as you put it straight into the butter/golden syrup mixture.. you can tell by the amount of foam you end up with..*** You could end up needing more baking powder to acheive the same results.. you could have problems doing it the other way round though.. bicarb for baking soda.. but baking soda for bicarb shouldn't be as touchy.. ***Bicarbonate of soda and baking powder both work as leavening agents - that is they help foods to rise, but they aren't the same thing so it's risky to use baking powder instead of bicarbonate of soda. How you use them depends on the ingredients you're combining them with. Here's the difference between them. Bicarbonate of soda is used in recipes that already include an acidic ingredient, such as lemon juice, buttermilk or chocolate, because it needs an acidic ingredient, combined with moisture, to create air bubbles which cause food to rise when cooked. Baking powder actually contains bicarbonate of soda as well as an acidic ingredient so all you need to add is moisture to get it working. But it doesn't achieve the same result as using pure bicarbonate of soda. Bicarbonate of soda, when used in the correct measure, imparts a slightly tangy taste and helps to give a golden colour to baked goods. But it needs that acidic ingredient to do this. This is why it's important to follow a recipe correctly - including whether it asks for bicarb or baking powder - as the amount that you use and what you combine it with is what makes all the difference. It really is food chemistry at work. ****
Function of baking soda in baking?
Baking soda is pure sodium bicarbonate. When baking soda is combined with moisture and an acidic ingredient (such as yogurt or buttermilk), the resulting chemical reaction produces bubbles of carbon dioxide that, when heated, expand causing baked goods to rise. The reaction begins immediately upon mixing the ingredients, so you need to bake recipes which use baking soda immediately.
Why is alkali used for cocoa?
From Wikipedia, Adding an alkali produces Dutch process cocoa powder, which is less acidic, darker and more mellow in flavor than what is generally available in most of the world. Regular (nonalkalized) cocoa is acidic, so when added to an alkaline ingredient like baking soda, the two react and leave a byproduct.
What is the ingredient that makes tobacco so coller?
nicotine
Why are baking powder and baking soda used in making baked goods?
Baking soda (called "sal aeratus" in the 1800s) and buttermilk (or milk soured with vinegar or lemon juice) react together to produce carbon dioxide, like baking powder and water, or yeast. This makes the dough rise.
Is baking soda bicarbonate soda?
Baking soda is pure sodium bicarbonate. When baking soda is combined with moisture and an acidic ingredient (e.g., yogurt, chocolate, buttermilk, honey), the resulting chemical reaction produces bubbles of carbon dioxide that expand under oven temperatures, causing baked goods to rise. The reaction begins immediately upon mixing the ingredients, so you need to bake recipes which call for baking soda immediately, or else they will fall flat!
What ingredient makes cigerette tabbaco so addicting?
Nicotine is the addictive ingredient in cigarette tobacco. It stimulates the release of dopamine in the brain, which creates a pleasurable sensation and can lead to addiction over time.
Is baking soda an acid?
baking soda is an acidAnswer 2No, it's not. It's an alkali (base)Actual fact...Baking soda is a solid salt in aqueous medium it behaves as a weak base but it is actually Amphoteric , it means in acidic medium it behaves as a base and in basic medium it behaves as an acidBaking Soda Is A BaseAlso baking soda has a pH value of 9 which makes it a base.Baking soda, or NaHCO3, is a weak base, so it is alkaline.

What happen when orange and baking soda are mixed?
It would fizz up. Oranges are acidic like all stresses are, so it would have a similar reaction as it would when you mix vinegar and baking soda.
