Product Description
Sodium Bicarbonate / Baking Soda CAS 144-55-8
Sodium bicarbonate, with molecular formula NaHCO₃, is an inorganic compound appearing as white powder or fine crystals. It is odorless with a salty taste, soluble in water, slightly soluble in ethanol, and has a slightly alkaline aqueous solution. The compound decomposes easily when heated and slowly in humid air, producing carbon dioxide. It begins decomposing at approximately 50°C and completely decomposes when heated to 270°C. When exposed to acids, it decomposes strongly, releasing carbon dioxide. Sodium bicarbonate finds extensive applications across chemical, pharmaceutical, food, light industry, textile sectors, and daily household use.
