Sodium bicarbonate is NaHCO3, sometimes called sodium hydrogen carbonate. It is an ionic compound with an ionic formula of Na+ HCO3-
It is used as a baking powder as it decomposes above 700C quickly at 2000C
2 NaHCO3 → Na2CO3 + H2O + CO2
The CO2 causes the cake to rise!
It is mildly alkaline and reacts with acids.
For example with hydrochloric acid the reaction is :-
NaHCO3 + HCl → NaCl + H2O + CO2(g)
It has many related names such as baking soda,bread soda, cooking soda, and bicarbonate of soda. In colloquial usage, its name is sometimes shortened to sodium bicarb, bicarb soda, or simply bicarb.
