Answer 2

Baking soda's correct property is that it is non-corrosive (option b).

• Baking soda is the chemical compound sodium bicarbonate, abbreviated as NaHCo₃.
• Baking soda has the following properties:

1. Baking soda is naturally alkaline.
2. It's a crystalline white substance.
3. Because it is a moderate base with a low concentration of OH- ions, it is non-corrosive in nature.
4. Baking soda reacts with acid in a neutralisation process. The following is an example:

        NaHCo₃ + HCl →  Nacl + Co₂ + H₂O.

• Carbon dioxide gas is evolved and not hydrogen gas, along with the formation of salt and water.

• As a result, the only property of baking soda that has been correctly stated is that it is non-corrosive.
