Sodium bicarbonate is used in toffee recipes to act as a leavening agent, helping the toffee achieve a lighter and airier texture. It reacts with acidic components in the toffee (such as brown sugar) to release carbon dioxide gas, which creates bubbles in the candy and leads to a softer, more chewy consistency.

What is the bi in bicarbonate?

It is actually Hydrogen. Sodium Bicarbonate is properly known as Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate, and sometimes Sodium Acid Carbonate (Hydrogen makes it an acid)CompareNaHCO3 (sodium bicarbonate)Na2CO3 (sodium carbonate)Since sodium carbonate takes two sodium ions for each carbonate, and bicarbonate has only one, ratio of carbonate ions to sodium ion doubles, hence the term bicarbonate.

Is sodium carbonate solution acidic or basic and what is the net chemical equation to represent the reaction of sodium carbonate and hydrochloric acid and what gas is involved?

Sodium carbonate solution is basic in nature after acid hydrolysis of polysaccharide sodium carbonate is added in test tube to neutralize acidic effect and to rise the ph value with the evolvement of carbondioxide gas the reaction between sodium carbonate and hcl gives rise to sodium bicarbonate and sodium chloride sodium bi carbonate is then reacted with hcl to form sodium chloride ,water and carbon dioxide


Sodium carbonate it is insoluble or soluble?

Sodium carbonate is SOLUBLE. It is an extremely good electrolyte and cleaner. It also removes nasty smells. Make an aqueous solution of sodium carbonate , and it will clean most things. Sodium carbonate has the formulka. Na2CO3. Commercially, it also goes by the name of 'Soda Crystals', or' Washing Soda'. NB All Group (I) metal ions, sodium included, readily dissolve in water to form solution. NNB Sodium chloride ( table salt) Sodium hydrogen carbonate *sodium bi-carbonate) sodium sulphate Sodium nitrate Sodium (acetate) ethanoate Sodium palmate/stearate (soap) Are all souble in water.


Can you mix sodium bicarbonate and citric acid together to use instead of sodium carbonate in homemade laundry?

first you should take an beaker and then put 1 tea spoon of sodium bi carbonate and another tea spoon of citric acid as you put them the citric acid will give out bubbles and it will go off and when you touch the vessel the vessel is cold.
