Question

correct the mistake washing soda is used for making cakes and bread soft spongy​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Baking powder is mixed with the flour. When water is added to this flour to makedough, baking powder undergoes a chemical reaction during which carbon dioxide gas is produced. This carbon dioxide gas gets trapped into the dough and bubbles out which causes the cake to rise making it soft and spongy.

The three chief raw materials used for making washing soda are:

Sodium chloride

Ammonia

Carbon-dioxide

Answer 2

To Make Cakes And Bread Soft Spongy Baking Soda Is Used and not washing soda

• Sodium bicarbonate commonly known as baking soda is a chemical compound with the chemical formula NaHCO₃.
• It is a salt made up of sodium cation Na²⁺ and bicarbonate anion HCO₃⁻
• The baking powder used in baking contains 30% of bicarbonate and other acidic ingredients which are activated by the addition of water.
• When sodium bicarbonate reacts with acid the release of carbon dioxide causes the expansion of batter and forms the characteristic sponge-like texture of cakes and bread.
• The acid-base reaction is as follows :

NaHCO₃ + H⁺ ---------> Na⁺ + CO₂ + H₂O

• Other uses of Sodium bicarbonate are mild disinfectant, Fire extinguisher, neutralization of acids, and antacids. etc.

• Washing soda is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Na₂CO₃.10H₂O
• It is a white, water-soluble salt that yields an alkaline solution in water.
• It is produced by reacting sodium chloride with Lime stone through the Solvay process.
• sodium carbonate also upon heating releases carbon dioxide gas.
• But, Washing soda is not used for baking because it is not edible as it is a very strong base with pH 11 and can burn and destroy organic tissues slowly by chemical action.
• Washing soda is used as detergent and food additives as anti-caking agents.
