Baking powder hydrogencarbonate

When heated, sodium hydrogencarbonate readily decomposes evolving carbon dioxide, a reaction which leads to its use as baking powder when the carhon dioxide evolved aerates the dough. In the soda-ammonia process the carbon dioxide evolved is used to supplement the main carbon dioxide supply obtained by heating calcium carbonate ... [Pg.133]

With the exception of LiHC03, which exists only in solution, they form solid hydrogencarbonates. Sodium hydrogencarbonate (baking powder) decomposes on heating ... [Pg.195]

Baking powder is amixtme of aluminum sulfate and sodium hydrogencarbonate, which generates a gas and makes hubbies in biscuit dough. Explain what the reactions are. [Pg.212]

See baking powder for sodium hydrogen carbonate. See hardness in water for other hydrogencarbonates. [Pg.64]
