32. A chemical compound 'x' is added to bakery products to make them fluffy. Identify "X"
and write its chemical formulae. Write any three application of it.
Answers
The chemical compound 'X' is Sodium bi carbonate [ Baking Powder ].
It's chemical formula is NaHCO₃ .
Baking powder is generally used in bakeries to make the bakery products, soft , spongy and fluffy. Baking powder is mixed with the flour. When water is added to flour, the sodium-hydrgencarbonate reacts with the tartaric acid [C₄H₄O₆] to evolve carbon-dioxide gas [CO₂] which causes the product to rise and makes it spongy and fluffy.
Three uses of sodium bicarbonate are:-
• It is used in bakeries to make the
products spongy and fluffy.
• It reduces stomach acid and hence,
used as an antacid.
• Sodium bicarbonate is also used in fire
extinguisher.
