How Do You Make Chemical Reactions With Baking Soda?
Considered by many to be a miracle compound, baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) has a seemingly endless number of uses around the house. But you’ll be surprised at how many everyday applications for baking soda are based on its unique chemical reactions with other substances. Unlock the secrets to its abilities by combining it with other common household ingredients. You’ll witness its wide range of chemical properties, and make some simple cleaning agents, remedies and recipes in the process. Add a sprinkle of baking soda to one cup of plain water. Watch for tiny bubbles. This is the end result of a chain of reactions as the sodium bicarbonate molecules break down and dissolve in water. The bubbles are carbon dioxide, one of the final products of the reactions. See the Resources for more information on the chemical details of this reaction. Stir a total of one teaspoon of baking soda into the cup of water. Test with litmus paper or pH paper if you wish; the solution will contain hydroxi
