The scientific name of baking soda is sodium bicarbonate. It is an inorganic salt, white crystalline powder, odorless, alkaline and soluble in water. Slow decomposition in humid air or hot air produces carbon dioxide, which is completely decomposed when heated to 270℃. In case of acid, it will decompose strongly to produce carbon dioxide.

The scientific name of baking soda is sodium bicarbonate, and its appearance is white fine crystals. Usually used as a leavening agent in the process of food production in life.
