Answer 1

Answer:

(a) The advantage of using baking powder is that tartaric acid present in baking powder reacts with sodium carbonate produced during decomposition ofand neutralizes it. If only sodium hydrogen carbonate (baking soda) is used in making cake, then sodium carbonate formed from it by the action of heat (during baking)give a bitter taste to cake. (b) By adding tartaric acid to baking soda we can form baking powder. (c) Tartaric acid neutralises the sodium carbonate formed during decompositionhence, making the cake tasty and not bitter in taste.
