  2. Introduction • The purpose of this Research Studies project is to find out the most cost-efficient brand of baking soda. • This knowledge we acquire will be helpful to professional bakers and others who frequently use baking soda so that they can maximize the money spent on the baking soda.

  3. Research Questions • How do you determine the most cost-effective baking soda? • Which brand of baking soda is the most cost-effective?

  4. Hypothesis • The greater the concentration of sodium bicarbonate in the baking soda, the more effective it is, for lesser amount of baking soda is needed to be used.

  5. Brands that we used • Arm and Hammer • Bake King

  6. Background Information – what is baking soda? • sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) • When mixed with acid liquid, releases carbon dioxide, which causes fizzing. • NaHCO3 + H+ -----> Na+ + H20 + CO2(soda) (acid) (sodium) (water) (gas) • Recipes that use baking soda for leavening always have an acidic ingredient.

  7. Difference between baking soda and powder

  8. Methodology • Back Titration: - We added 40 ml of 0.2 M Hydrochloric acid (HCl) to 0.2 g of baking soda to react the baking soda. - The excess acid which had not been reacted is then titrated using sodium hydroxide(alkaline) • Titration: - Releasing alkaline from a burette to excess acid + screened methyl orange (indicator) in a beaker - when the indicator turns green, it shows that the excess acid has completely reacted

  9. Methodology • Advantages of using titration/back titration: - gives us the exact readings that are extremely accurate as a burette is used

  10. Methodology • The lesser the alkaline needed to react with excess NaCO3, the more cost effective the baking soda • This is because the amount of acid in the baking soda is higher in order to have reacted with a larger portion of the 40ml hydrochloric acid • Higher amount of acid  larger concentration of NaCO3  the more effective the baking soda Reacted NaCO3 – amount of acid in baking soda Excess unreacted NaCO3 Alkaline needed to react with excess NaCO3
