sodium bicarbonate
Kitchen leavening agent
Sodium bicarbonate is a white crystalline compound used as a leavening agent in baking, where it reacts with acids to produce carbon dioxide bubbles.
It also neutralizes stomach acid as an antacid and serves as a mild abrasive in cleaning.
Commonly called baking soda: Add a teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate to the batter.
