Equilibrium Paper There are multiple ingredients used to make baked goods rise; baking powder and baking soda are among them. The difference between single and double-acting baking powders is simple. Single-acting releases the carbon dioxide bubbles when mixed with a liquid ingredient and double-acting soda releases bubbles when the baked item is placed in heat. Baking soda and baking powder are remarkably similar, yet there are distinct differences. One is that baking soda is a strong base, about two or three times stronger than baking powder. Secondly, baking powder actually contains baking soda! The powder is a mix of the baking soda and an acid to neutralize it. Baking powder is more likely to be used in creating a fluffy cake because

First, direct synthesis, which is just combining pure chloride gas and pure hydrogen gas to create the acid. Second is organic synthesis, where the hydrochloric acid is mixed with other chemicals (including chloride) and the end result becomes hydrochloric acid. The acid is produced in solutions of up to thirty-eight percent. Higher concentrations are possible but not advised because the evaporation rates get much higher, and to work with higher concentrations extra precautions such as pressurization and cooling techniques are required. Often times, the producing of hydrochloric acid is integrated with the production of other chemicals. There are multiple applications of hydrochloric acid, including production of organic and inorganic compounds, an ingredient in household cleaning products, and leather …show more content…
Before the invention of modern antacids, people would chew chalk (calcium carbonate) to relieve the burning felt by too much acid in the stomach. But most currently used antacids are a combination of aluminum and magnesium hydroxide, often containing sodium bicarbonate as well. The antacids counteract stomach acid by neutralizing the acid, because antacids are formed of bases. Stomach acid, or gastric acid, is made of hydrochloric acid, potassium chloride, and sodium chloride. It has a pH of 1.5 to 3.5. A few symptoms of too much acid in the stomach are bloating, belching, flatulence, and heartburn. Diet and stress are the two major contributors to an abundance of stomach acid, eating spicy or oily foods can cause too much acid. Also, for some people, irregular sleeping patterns can cause the acid level to rise in your
