I think you mean baking soda, not baking powder. Anyway,
that's not a very good answer. The correct answer isn't that interesting. The answer is that these two substances simply don't react. It takes an acid, vinegar, to react with the base, bicarbonate. An acid neutralizes the base and carbon dioxide is given off.
I guess the short, best answer is that alcohol is not an acid.
What else can I help you with?
Can baking powder react to an exothermic chemical reaction?
Baking powder is thermally decomposed by heating (absorb heat).
Is baking powder fizzing in vinegar a chemical reaction?
Yes
Is baking powder a gas that makes a cake rise a chemical reaction?
Baking powder is not a gas, but it does make a cake rise by releasing carbon dioxide into the batter through chemical reaction.
How can I create a chemical reaction using baking powder and vinegar?
To create a chemical reaction using baking powder and vinegar, simply mix the two together. The baking powder (sodium bicarbonate) reacts with the vinegar (acetic acid) to produce carbon dioxide gas, which causes bubbling and fizzing. This reaction is commonly used in baking to make cakes and breads rise.
Can you substitute baking soda and baking powder with self rising flower?
No. there is a chemical reaction with the baking soda and the other ingredients, not with the flour.
Will baking powder and water produce alcohol?
No. Sugar and a fermenting agent eg yeast is needed to produce alcohol.
Do acids produce effervescence with baking powder?
Yes, acids can produce effervescence with baking powder. Baking powder contains a combination of an acid (usually cream of tartar) and a base (usually baking soda). When an acid is added to baking powder, it reacts with the baking soda to release carbon dioxide gas, resulting in effervescence. This reaction is what causes baked goods to rise.
Is baking powder and water a chemical reaction?
yes it creates carbon dioxide
What happens if you heat baking powder?
When you heat baking powder, it releases carbon dioxide gas, which helps baked goods rise. This reaction occurs quickly when the baking powder is mixed with a liquid and heated in the oven. Heating baking powder at high temperatures can cause it to lose its leavening power over time.
What is the reaction between alcohol and baking soda?
They produce no reaction but the density of the baking soda can be demonstrated as it all settles to the bottom. Also, absorption (baking soda absorbing the alcohol) takes place which makes a good lesson. Hope this helps
Is baking powder reversible of irreversible in water?
Baking powder is generally considered a reversible reaction in water, as it dissolves and dissociates into its components, allowing it to react chemically when mixed with other ingredients. However, the reaction that occurs when baking powder is heated (producing carbon dioxide gas) is irreversible. Thus, while its dissolution in water is reversible, the subsequent chemical reactions during baking are irreversible.
Why does cola fizz in them?
Due to the chemical reaction of the carbonated water interacting with the baking powder.
