Question

write the chemical formula of baking soda. how is baking soda prepared? write the reaction which takes place when it is heated during cooking.

Answer 1

The chemical formula of baking soda NaHCo3. It is prepared by passing carbon dioxide gas and Ammonia gas through the aqueous solution of sodium chloride.

The chemical equation is. ..,.

Nacl+H2O+CO2+NH3 > NH4Cl + NaHCo3

Thank you.

Answer 2

The chemical name for baking soda is sodium bicarbonate and the chemical formula is Na2CO3.

Explanation:

• Solvay process is used to produce sodium bicarbonate or baking soda in industries.
• The raw materials used to produce sodium bicarbonate are concentrated solutions of carbon dioxide, water, ammonia, and brine solution.
• By allowing the chemical reaction of carbon dioxide (CO2) + water (H2O) + ammonia (NH3) + sodium ion (Na+) --> sodium hydrogen bicarbonate (NaHCO3) + ammonium cation (NH+4) are obtained.
• Further reaction of sodium hydrogen bicarbonate (NaHCO3) produces sodium bicarbonate (Na2CO3) + carbon dioxide (CO2) + water (H2O). When baking soda is heated during cooking, decomposition occurs to produce sodium carbonate and carbon dioxide is released.
