Our experiment is on the difference between baking soda and baking powder. Our title is the Results of Baking Powder VS using Baking Soda in a recipe. We wanted to find out if one was more effective than the other, or if one wouldn’t work without certain ingredients. This led to our research question being “Does using baking powder or baking soda affect the results of a muffin recipe?” We thought that the baking powder would result in better muffins, so in our hypothesis, we stated that that baking

Baking soda is a leavening agent, which helps baked goods to rise and become light and spongy. This is also the most common leavening agent. It needs an acidic component to activate it, or else a bitter taste will occur. The baking soda works to neutralize the acid and this is what causes the leavening. In baking, some usual acidic components include vinegar, yogurt, lemon juice (or other citrus juice), buttermilk, and brown sugar. Baking soda also goes through a double-acting process. When the basic properties of baking soda mix with the acidic properties of one of these ingredients it starts to neutralize, creating carbon dioxide bubbles, fluffing up the batter while baking. The bubbles also form in a second stage when heated (aka, during the baking process). This raises the baked good and also makes it more tender and soft. Baking soda is ideal to be used instead of baking powder if there is an acidic component because it is about 4 times more effective than baking powder. It also does not leave a taste or texture in the baked result unless a large amount is added in the mixing process. Sodium bicarbonate has an indefinite shelf life. Baking powder, on the other hand, does not, and can go bad after a few months. It is a good thing to note that baking soda can not substitute for baking powder, as recipes that call for baking powder often do not contain the acidic component needed to activate the leavening agent.

Baking Soda and Vinegar: Limiting Reactant Lab Background The limiting reactant of a chemical reaction is the substance that places an upper bound on the amount of product that the reaction can produce. The limiting reactant places this upper bound because the reaction must stop once all of the limiting reactant is consumed. If the relative amount of reactants is altered, then the limiting reactant may change accordingly.

The next week was dedicated to the titration of household supplies. For this, we used two sodas, Cheerwine, and Diet Coke, as well as dish soap. Dish soap, along with many other household cleaning agents, has buffering properties. A buffer acts as a pH stabilizer. It is a combination of a weak acid and its conjugate base, or a weak base combined with its conjugate acid. If a strong acid ion is added, the buffer simply replaces it with a weak acid ion, therefore causing little change in the pH of the solution. Household cleaning products usually have some form of a buffer, because otherwise, they would burn skin to touch. As expected, the two sodas were originally acidic, while the soap was basic.

Cocaine was first cut with baking soda in the early 1880s. This was done because of the price drop that drug dealers were facing. They decided to mix it with baking soda, make a hard piece of rock, and sell it in smaller quantities. This made it cheap, simple to produce, ready to use, and highly profitable for dealers to develop (Kornbluh, 1997).... ...
