How baking Soda is prepared.

Baking Soda : Sodium bicarbonate is formed by mixing carbon, sodium, hydrogen and oxygen molecules. This mixture, also known as baking soda, is actually a type of salt.

Baking soda is the common name of sodium bicarbonate. The chemical formula of baking soda is NaHCO3.

The Difference Between Baking Soda and Baking Powder

What Is Baking Powder?

Baking powder is comprised of baking soda and a dry acid, like cream of tartar or sodium aluminum sulfate. Since the acid in baking powder is dry, the baking soda does not react until combined with a liquid.

Baking soda reacts with acids in a recipe, neutralizing them and, in the process, creating carbon dioxide. Examples of acids include: buttermilk, brown sugar, lemon juice, or yogurt. The bubbles from the carbon dioxide cause the batter to rise. Without baking soda, cookies would be dense pucks and cakes would be flat.
