Sodium Bicarbonate

1. Chemical Formula: NaHCO3

2. Description: Sodium bicarbonate is a white solid that is crystalline but often appears as a fine powder. It has a slightly salty, alkaline taste resembling that of washing soda (sodium carbonate). Sodium bicarbonate has a wide variety of uses. Sodium bicarbonate, referred to as baking soda, is primarily used in baking, as a leavening agent. It reacts with acidic components in batters, releasing carbon dioxide, which causes expansion of the batter and forms the characteristic texture and grain in pancakes, cakes, quick breads, soda bread, and other baked and fried foods.Sodium bicarbonate can be administered to pools, spas, and garden ponds to raise the total alkalinity. This will also raise the pH level and make maintaining proper pH easier.

Sodium bicarbonate can be used to make fire extinguishers and Flux of ingot,it also can be used to acid raw material for medical industry and so on.
3. Storage:

(1) Should be stored in a cool, ventilated and dry place. 

(2) Keep away from light and water.
