I bought a box of Great Value baking soda to use in my laundry. When I added water, it bubbled. My Armor and Hammer baking brand did not do that, ever, unless I added vinegar.
I am concerned that as they are so different, one may have an additive? Not sure so will not use.

∙ 13y agono you will get a solution of sodium bicarbonate
Actually, yes, it will form bubbles. Baking SODA won't for bubbles in water. Baking powder will because baking powder includes an acid salt as well as just baking soda...

∙ 12y agoDouble-acting baking powder contains sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and two different acid salts. When mixed with water, one of the acid salts will immediately react with the sodium bicarbonate and release carbon dioxide gas, in the form of bubbles. (The other acid salt does not react until a higher temperature is reached during baking--that's the "double-acting" part).

∙ 10y agobecause the baking soda(Base) neutralizes the vinegar(Acid), it is just a neutralization and you will be left over with salt and water, you can even add sulfuric acid and baking soda together and you can drink it clean, it will be salt and water. the bubbling happens with limestone and acid, it is because they neutralize each other to a pH of 7 (salt and water)
