1.	State the chemical property in each case on which the following uses of bakingsoda are based (i) As an antacid (ii) As a constituent of baking powder. Give the chemical for baking soda
Answer» (i) It is weakly alkaline is nature and neutralizes acid (HCl ) formed is the stomach. NaHCO₃+ HCl --->NaCl + H₂O +CO (ii) It evolves CO₂ in the form of bubbles when cake is made by baking. As a result, the cake becomes porous as well as fluffy. NaHCO₃ ----heat---------> Na 2CO₃ + H₂O + CO₂ The chemical formula of baking soda is Na 2CO₃

State the chemical property in each case on which the following uses of bakingsoda are based (i) As an antacid (ii) As a constituent of baking powder. Give the chemical for baking soda

Answer»

(i) It is weakly alkaline is nature and neutralizes acid (HCl ) formed is the stomach.

NaHCO₃+ HCl --->NaCl + H₂O +CO

(ii) It evolves CO₂ in the form of bubbles when cake is made by baking. As a result, the cake becomes porous as well as fluffy.

NaHCO₃ ----heat---------> Na 2CO₃ + H₂O + CO₂

The chemical formula of baking soda is Na 2CO₃
