Sodium Bicarbonate, also known as baking soda, it is weak base, which means it can neutralize both acids and bases. When mixed with an acid, it produces carbon dioxide gas, allowing baked goods to rise. Additionally, sodium bicarbonate has many medicinal uses, such as neutralizing stomach acid and relieving heartburn, treating urinary tract infections, and assisting in the removal of cerumen (earwax). Sodium Bicarbonate is also utilized in the food industry as a food additive, as well as in cleaning and personal hygiene products due to its ability to act as a mild abrasive and deodorizer.
