Explain about making procedure of Baking soda and its use .
Answers
Explanation:
SODIUM BICARBONATE OR BAKING SODA - DEFINITION
Formula: NaHCO
3
Properties:
Sodium hydrogen carbonate is a white crystalline solid having a density of about 2.2 g/mL. It has alkaline taste and is sparingly soluble in water. The solubility of sodium hydrogen carbonate increases with the rise of temperature.
USES OF SODIUM BICARBONATE OR BAKING SODA - DEFINITION
1. As a component of baking powder.
2. In fire extinguishers.
3. In medicines as a mild antiseptic for skin diseases and to neutralize the acidity of the stomach.
4. As a reagent in laboratory.
METHODS OF PREPRATION OF BAKING SODA - DEFINITION
Sodium hydrogen carbonate ( baking soda ) is made by saturating a solution of sodium carbonate with carbon dioxide. The white crystalline powder of sodium hydrogen carbonate being less soluble, gets separated out.
⇝Also known as sodium bicarbonate or bicarbonate of soda
⇝Baking soda is commercially produced through the following process:
★★
⇝ sodium carbonate solution is treated with carbon dioxide to form a slurry/suspension.
⇝ the suspension is separated from the liquid, producing a cake.
⇝ the cake is washed in a bicarbonate solution
⇝drying in a belt conveyor or flash dryer.
Particle size reduction: the dried powder is milled to desired particle size.
★★
⇝Baking soda offers several benefits to baked goods, such as
⇝ gases formed from the breakdown of baking soda allow the batter to expand during baking.
⇝ produced gases expand the cell walls of baked goods, making them more tender.
⇝ baking soda increases the pH of baked goods, this may have an effect on color, flavor, crumb texture, and gluten strength.
⇝ creates a finer crumb.
⇝in certain baked goods, it may provide a distinctive salty flavor.
