Is Baking soda the same as bicarbonate soda?

For the most part yes but just to be sure buy the one that says "bicarbonate" on the box. No, bicarbonate is not the same as baking soda. However, bicarbonate is a compound of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda). The most common salt of the bicarbonate ion is bicarbonate of soda (a.k.a. sodium bicarbonate), marketed as baking soda. Bicarbonate in organic chemistry is an intermediate form in the deprotonation of carbonic acid. it's chemical formula is HCO3. Bicarbonate serves a crucial biochemical rose in the physiological pH buffering system. Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate or sodium hydrogen carbonate and is the chemical compound with the formula NaHCO3. NaHCO3 is mainly prepared by the Solvay process, which is the reaction of calcium carbonate, sodium chloride, ammonia, and carbon dioxide in water. Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) is an amphoteric compound.
