Answer 1

Answer:

• During the preparation of food in the baking industry, the cakes turn out to be soft and fluffy. This is done by the chemical known as Baking Powder.

• Baking Soda on reacting with edible acid gives rise to Salt and Carbon dioxide.

• This Carbon dioxide helps in the formation of fluffy cakes as the cakes within inside get filled with Carbon dioxide gas.

• Hence Cakes tend to be more fluffy, light and spongy.

• Reaction: Baking Soda + Acid ( edible ) → Baking Powder + Carbon dioxide
