When baking soda is dissolved in water, it forms a solution that can accumulate on surfaces as the water evaporates. As the water evaporates, the baking soda solidifies and can create stalactites due to the gradual buildup of the solid material in a downward direction. This process is similar to how minerals in water can form natural stalactites in caves over thousands of years.

Can water and baking soda make stalactites?

Sodium Bicarbonate solution? Interesting question! Obviously not in nature, but you could try to design and perform an experiment to find out! I've not heard of anyone doing it, but given that an incredibly beautiful cave formed entirely in rock-salt (sodium chloride) has been discovered recently in Iran, I suppose it may be possible to make other substances grow into stalactites artificially - but only if crystalline. Is baking soda crystalline (beyond it being milled down to a fine powder), or amorphous by nature? Try it, and tell us!.


Why do you think baking soda and Epsom salts work well in making stalactites?

Baking soda and Epsom salts are both compounds that easily dissolve in water. When a saturated solution of these compounds drips from a surface, it allows water to slowly evaporate and the dissolved minerals to precipitate out, forming stalactites due to the gradual accumulation of mineral deposits over time.


Does water with baking soda boil faster than the plain water?

Baking soda is a solid, therefore it will not evaporate even when mixed with water. The water will evaporate and leave the baking soda behind.
