Baking Soda

Baking soda, a white powder, is chemically known as Sodium Bicarbonate. It has many commercial uses. Baking soda is used in baking (as a yeast substitute) because it helps foods such as bread and muffins to rise. It is also used in antacids (it has the ability to neutralize acids) and can be used as a fire extinguisher. [LM] {RH}
