Please answer properly. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

a. If at home your mother uses baking soda instead of baking powder in cake, the taste will be little bitter.

b. Baking soda is converted to a baking powder by adding tartaric acid and starch to the baking soda. Baking soda is basic in nature and bitter in flavor. As the baking soda reacts to the batter that is produced, it neutralizes the bitter taste of the baking powder to give rise to carbon dioxide and water as moisture.

c. Tartaric acid is added to neutralize the sodium carbonate formed on heating by the decomposition of Sodium hydrogen carbonate.
