Baking Soda, is sodium hydrogen carbonate ,or more commonly known as Sodium bi-Carbonate.
Its chemical formula is ' NaHCO3 '.
Do NOT confuse with Washing Soda, which is 'Na2CO3'.
It is used to make baked food stuffs rise, because when heated it undergoes thermal decomposition, releasing carbon dioxide gas in the process. This release of carbon dioxide make the pastry rise, because on fomration in the base it cannot go anywhere, and forma a 'honeycomb' of little holes.
Although not formally recommended , it can be used as toothpaste, as it will remove the plaque from teeth.
Also it can be used as a general cleaning agent, and it will also neutralise acids.
Chemical reaction eq'ns;-
Thermal decomposition.
2NaHCO3 =heat=> Na2CO3 + H2O + CO2
Acid neutralisation
H^(+) + NaHCO3 = Na^(+) + H2O + CO2
As an experiment at home, which can be done in a glass tumbler, put a little vinegar on to baking powder. You will notice a 'fizz' ( effervescence). This is the Ethanoic (Acetic) Acid in vinegar being neutralised, and releasing carbon dioxide in the process.
Here is the chemical reaction.
Ethanoic (Acetic) Acid + Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate = Sodium Ethanoate(Acetate) + Water + Carbon Dioxide.
CH3COOH(aq) + NaHCO3)s) = CH3COONa(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)

How much bakeing soda for 1 gram of cokecain?
It is not recommended to mix baking soda with cocaine. If you are looking to neutralize cocaine, it is best to seek professional help or contact a poison control center. Mixing these substances can be dangerous and highly unpredictable.

How do you do a oxidation equation with aluminum oxide?
Aluminum oxide is on the surface of any aluminum metal, however you probably want more than that. There are three ways to produce the aluminum-oxide. 1. You can melt the aluminum in a furnace. There will be a thin film on top of the molten metal, that is the aluninum-oxide. You can skim this off with anything of a melting point higher than aluminum. This method leaves you with messy gobs of aluminum oxide mixed with small amounts of aluminum. 2. You can mix up a batch of thermite and light it. Aluminum oxide is a by-product of the reaction. However, this is very dangerous and I don't know how you could collect the aluminum-oxide(it is probably mixed with the iron). 3. (My favorite)You grind the aluminum into powder, probably with a bench grinder, and burn it! You get a container that won't burn and set the container with the aluminum in it in a fire(big fire)! The aluminum will burn/oxidize and you are left with a container of aluminum-oxide! Have fun be safe, oh and make some rubies while you're at it!!! OR #4. use some red devel drain cleaner (* 99% Lye *) and mix in a small cup of hot water than place an aluminum bar into it.. it will produce ALLOT of heat, as the reaction is endothermic, as well as lots of hydrogen and FOAM. use a little WD40 in the water to reduce foam.. after the reaction has finished, the aluminum will be converted to Aluminum OXIDE and lye. allow the mix of water/lye/aluminum oxide to evaporate in a tin. then add a little cutting oil to turn it into a paste. when adding oil to lye, it turns it into SOAP.. so you'll end up with a polishing compound that will also cleaning agent.. be carefull LYE will cause burns from both the chemical and heat produced while the aluminum is converted to aluminum oxide. so use protective gear, face shield, gloves, and aprin. enjoy.

Is bakeing soda a acid?
Baking soda is a basic compound, not an acid. Its chemical name is sodium bicarbonate, and it reacts with acids to produce carbon dioxide gas, which causes baked goods to rise when used in baking.
