Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate, commonly known as baking soda, is a versatile chemical compound with the formula NaHCOā. It appears as a white, crystalline powder with a slightly alkaline taste. Itās widely used in baking as a leavening agent, helping dough rise by producing carbon dioxide gas when it reacts with an acid. Beyond baking, it has various applications including cleaning, deodorizing, and neutralizing acids. In personal care, it’s used in toothpaste and antacids. I appreciate its multifunctional uses and effectiveness in both kitchen and household tasks.
