Rough Draft Body Baking soda is a chemical that can be used in cleaning, deodorizing, health, cooking, and in baking (Rodino 14). Baking soda can do many things, but it is mostly used in baking. Baking soda is an important, chemical leavening agent in baking (Sideman) . This chemical agent is used in bread, cookies, cakes, and other baked goods (Rodino 14). Leavening agents make baked goods rise, which are need to make goodies light and fluffy. Baking soda is a mild alkaline (Westdale 16). Even though baking soda is a chemical leavening agent, not all leavens, another word for leavening agents, are chemicals. Baking soda reacts and activates immediately when it is combined with an acidic agent (Sideman). This reaction happens …show more content…
Its rising process is a combination of yeast’s process and baking soda’s process (Romanawski). Baking powder is a mixture of three ingredients, which are baking soda, a starch, and an acid-forming ingredient (Jamison) . The starch keeps the mixture dry until it comes in contact with a liquid (Jamison). When a liquid is added to baking powder, it makes the acid-forming ingredient react to change into the acid (Jamison). Then, the baking soda reacts to the acid (Jamison). Then, the baking soda releases carbon dioxide in bubbles (Jamison; Romanawski). The gas gets trapped in the batter, which is often called glucose (Jamison). The bubbles start to expand when the batter is heated in the oven (Jamison). At this point, the batter rises air passages are created to make the baked good light and crispy (Jamison). Now, the rising process is …show more content…
Baking soda is a white, crystal-like powder of different elements because it is a chemical (Sideman).Many properties are revealed when it is seen how it is made. Baking soda can be made is in two different ways (Sideman). It can be made manufactured or naturally (Sideman). When it is manufactured, baking soda is formed by combining an acid, which is carbon, and a base, which is sodium hydroxide (Sideman). When the mixture is heated at 300oF, it decomposes and turns into sodium carbonate, also known as soda ash, Na2CO3 (Sideman). Soda ash contains sodium, carbon, and oxygen (Sideman). Then, the soda ash turns into water and carbon dioxide (Sideman). This is the basic way of making soda ash, which is needed to make baking soda, but to see more details, history needs to be looked at (Sideman).In late 1800’s, a Belgian man named Ernest Solvay created a different process of making soda ash, which is now used today (Sideman). He made a mixture of carbon dioxide and ammonia (NH3) and put the mixture into a concentration solution of sodium chloride (Sideman). As a result, sodium carbonate formed and was heated; this heating formed soda ash (Sideman). The soda ash was further treated and refined to baking soda (Sideman). When it is made naturally, it is made from a mineral called trona ore that has to be mined and then, sent to factories (Sideman).Yeast is definitely different because it is
