Difference between baking spa and baking powder |
| Answer» Baking soda\xa0is a single compound which has sodium hydrogencarbonate. It is used as an antacid to remove acidity in the stomach. Due to its alkaline (basic) nature, the excess acid in the stomach gets neutralized.Baking powder\xa0is a mixture of sodium hydrogencarbonate and a mild edible(eatable) acid such as tartaric acid. When baking powder mixes with water, then the sodium hydrogencarbonate reacts with tartaric acid to evolve carbon dioxide gas which gets trapped in the wet dough and bubbles out slowly making the cake to rise and hence \'soft and spongy\'. The equation which takes place can be shown as:NaHCO3\xa0+ H+\xa0→ Na+\xa0+\xa0CO2\xa0+\xa0H2O | |
