Answer 1

Answer:

1-Baking soda is a leavening agent used in baked goods like cakes, muffins, and cookies. Baking soda becomes activated when it's combined with both an acidic ingredient and a liquid. Upon activation, carbon dioxide is produced, which allows baked goods to rise and become light and fluffy .

2-Equation:Carbon dioxide (CO2) + water (H2O) + ammonia (NH3) + sodium ion (Na+) --> sodium hydrogen bicarbonate (NaHCO3) + ammonium cation (NH+4) are obtained.

3-• Other uses of baking soda-

• It is used in Treat heartburn. Heartburn is also known as acid reflux.

• It is used in Mouthwashes
