Baking soda, also known as sodium bicarbonate, is a compound that can act as both a solute and a leavening agent in baking. When dissolved in a liquid, such as water, baking soda dissociates into sodium and bicarbonate ions, making it a solute in the solution. In baking, the release of carbon dioxide gas from the reaction of baking soda with an acid helps dough or batter rise, making it an essential component in many recipes.
