Question

Is added while baking bread and cakes to make them soft and fluffy write the name of the Powder name its main ingredient Explain the function of each ingredient write the chemical reaction taking place when the Powder is heated during the baking

Answer 1

Baking powder is a mixture of baking soda or sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) with any kitchen acid such as vinegar (dilute acetic acid).

Baking powder : NaHCO3 + H+

On acid base reaction, baking soda releases CO2 as follows:

NaHCO3 + H+ → Na+ + CO2 + H2O

Answer 2

hey mate here is your answer
.
.
.
baking soda is used in making cakes and bread fluffy and soft .its molecular formula is NaHCO3 commonly known as sodium bicarbonate.
.
.
.
.
production of sodium bicarbonate--
NaCl+NH3+H2O+CO2--------> NaHCO3+NH4Cl
.
.
.
.
properties of sodium bicarbonate-----
1.it is white crystal soluble in water.
2.it is non-corrossive base.
.
.
.
.
use of sodium bicarbonate----
1. it is used in baking powder to make cakes soft and fluffy.
2.it is used as an antacid .
3.it is used as in soda fire extinguisher.
.
.
.
.
chemical reaction during heat ----
when sodium bicarbonate is heated with an acid which provides if an hydrogen ion and then sodium ion , carbon dioxide and water is released and co2 is released out and thus makes the cake and bread soft and fluffy .
NaHCO3+H*-------> Na*+CO2+H2O.
