Is baking soda an acid or base?
Baking Powder is a proprietary mixture of ingredients, including an alkaline (base) baking soda (base) and acid powder(s) like cream of tartar, MCP and SAS, and often a stabilizer like cornstarch (acid to neutral). Because the PH of a powder is measured when mixed with water, and usually one or more of the acids aren't soluble at room temperature, baking powder will turn from an alkaline to neutral when cooked with a liquid. This chemical reaction causes the release of CO2, which is why my bread has these little holes that makes it so fluffy.
Why does baking powder cause baked good to rise higher?
Baking Powder contains 3 things. An acid known as cream of tartar A base known as baking soda A filler commonly corn starch (insignificant) Now when there is a liquid added to the baking powder and heated, the liquid causes ionization of the compounds in the acid of the baking powder and the base of the baking powder to cause a neutralization (the reaction between an acid and a base). This neutralization gives carbon dioxide that will allow the flour (or any other baking batter) to rise.
