Features and benefits
Here are some key uses and properties of sodium bicarbonate:
Baking: Sodium bicarbonate is a common ingredient in baking, where it serves as a leavening agent. When mixed with vinegar or lemon juice and exposed to heat, it releases carbon dioxide gas, which causes dough or batter to rise and become lighter and more porous. This is essential for making items like cakes, bread, and cookies.
Cleaning: Baking soda is an effective and eco-friendly household cleaner. It can be used to clean surfaces, deodorize carpets and upholstery, remove stains, and even unclog drains when combined with vinegar.
Personal Care: Some people use sodium bicarbonate as a mild abrasive for toothpaste or as an ingredient in homemade deodorants due to its odor-neutralizing properties.
Fire Extinguisher: Sodium bicarbonate is used in certain types of fire extinguishers, particularly those designed for kitchen fires. It works by releasing carbon dioxide to smother the flames.
pH Buffer: Sodium bicarbonate is a pH buffer, meaning it can help maintain a stable pH level in various solutions, making it useful in laboratory settings and certain industrial processes.
