Two use of baking soda are:
• It is used as baking powder to make cakes and breads rise. (Baking powder is a mixture of sodium bicarbonate and a weak acid. When baking powder is mixed with a liquid, these two ingredients react to form bubbles of carbon dioxide gas which helps dough to rise).
• It is used for absorbing both moisture and odor. (The small particles of baking soda have a crystalline structure that is capable of refracting both acids and bases, meaning that if you have enough surface area baking soda in your fridge, it will neutralize the particles that cause Foul odors.)
