How do you know whether baking soda is still active or not?
To find out whether baking soda is still active or not, you can do a simple test at home. Here are the steps.
1. Prepare materials and tools.
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tbsp vinegar or lemon juice
- Small glass or bowl
2. Perform a reaction test.
- Put baking soda in a glass or small bowl.
- Pour vinegar or lemon juice over the baking soda.
3. Observe the reaction.
- If the baking soda is still active, a chemical reaction will occur which will produce lots of bubbles or foam quickly.
- If there are no bubbles or only a few, this means the baking soda is no longer active or fresh.
Explanation.
Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) reacts with acids (such as vinegar or lemon juice) to produce carbon dioxide (CO2) gas, which creates bubbles. These bubbles indicate that the baking soda is still active and can be used in the cooking or baking process.
Storage Tips.
To keep baking soda active longer:
- Store in a dry and cool place.
- Make sure the container is tightly closed to prevent moisture from entering.
