Cupcakes baked with baking soda as a raising agent. Sodium bicarbonate (IUPAC name: sodium hydrogencarbonate [9]), commonly known as baking soda or bicarbonate of soda, is a chemical compound with the formula NaHCO 3.
The Solvay process or ammonia–soda process is the major industrial process for the production of sodium carbonate (soda ash, Na 2 CO 3).The ammonia–soda process was developed into its modern form by the Belgian chemist Ernest Solvay during the 1860s. [1]
NaO 2 is prepared by treating sodium peroxide with oxygen at high pressures: [2] Na 2 O 2 + O 2 → 2 NaO 2. It can also be prepared by careful oxygenation of a solution of sodium in cryogenic liquid ammonia: Na(in NH 3) + O 2 → NaO 2
In moist air, CH 3 CH 2 ONa hydrolyses rapidly to sodium hydroxide (NaOH). The conversion is not obvious and typical samples of CH 3 CH 2 ONa are contaminated with NaOH. In moisture -free air, solid sodium ethoxide can form sodium ethyl carbonate from fixation of carbon dioxide from the air.
The only hydrates with stable melting points are NaOH·H 2 O (65.10 °C) and NaOH·3.5H 2 O (15.38 °C). The other hydrates, except the metastable ones NaOH·3H 2 O and NaOH·4H 2 O (β) can be crystallized from solutions of the proper composition, as listed above. However, solutions of NaOH can be easily supercooled by many degrees, which ...
Thiourea (/ ˌ θ aɪ. oʊ j ʊəˈr iː. ə,-ˈ jʊər i-/) [2] [3] is an organosulfur compound with the formula SC(NH 2) 2 and the structure H 2 N−C(=S)−NH 2.It is structurally similar to urea (H 2 N−C(=O)−NH 2), with the oxygen atom replaced by sulfur atom (as implied by the thio-prefix).
Sodium benzoate can act as a food preservative. It is most widely used in acidic foods such as salad dressings (for example acetic acid in vinegar), carbonated drinks (carbonic acid), jams and fruit juices (citric acid), pickles (acetic acid), condiments, and frozen yogurt toppings.
Sodium azide is an ionic solid.Two crystalline forms are known, rhombohedral and hexagonal. [1] [6] Both adopt layered structures.The azide anion is very similar in each form, being centrosymmetric with N–N distances of 1.18 Å.
