is biocarabonate soda the same thing as baking soda ?

Answer 1

baking soda is sodium bicarbonate. it also has many other names, such as sodium hydrogencarbonate, sodium bicarb, baking soda, bread soda, cooking soda, bicarb soda or bicarbonate of soda.
bicarbonate soda is similar to bicarb soda and, i think, would be the same thing.

Answer 3

No, they're not exactly the same. Bi-carb soda (Bicarbonate soda/bicarbonate of soda/baking soda) is pure sodium bicarbonate, whereas baking powder is bi-carb soda, cream of tartar and starch.

Which one to use depends on what you are baking - bi-carb soda can taste kind of bitter unless it is countered by an acidic ingredient like yoghurt or buttermilk. Baking powder has a fairly neutral taste.

You can substitute baking powder in place of bi-carb soda (you'll need more baking powder so it may affect the taste), but you can't use bi-carb soda when a recipe calls for baking powder. Bi-carb soda doesn't have the acidity to make a cake rise unless you add twice the amount of cream of tartar to bi-carb soda.

Answer 4

They are SIMILAR but NOT the same. Baking powder is bicarbonate of soda + cream of tarter added to it.

Answer 5

Bicarbonate soda is baking soda. NaHCO3. I've never heard of bio-cara-bonate soda.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Sodium Bicarbonate, commonly called baking soda, is a white odourless, crystalline solid, completely soluble in water but slightly soluble in ethanol. It is the mildest of all sodium alkalis. It is prepared from purified sodium carbonate or sodium hydroxide solution with passing carbon dioxide which is bubbled into the solution of pure carbonate, and the bicarbonate precipitates out to be dried as the bicarbonate is less soluble than the carbonate. Sodium bicarbonate is also made as an intermediate product in the Solvay process which is to make sodium carbonate from calcium carbonate by treating sodium chloride with ammonia and carbon dioxide. The major use of sodium bicarbonate is in baking powders. Sodium Bicarbonate plays an important role in the products of many diverse industries with functions of releasing CO2 when heated above about 50 C or when reacted with a weak acid makes sodium bicarbonate a key ingredient in food leavening as well as in the manufacture of effervescent salts and beverages. It can react as an acid or a base in water treatment. In health and beauty applications, mild abrasivity and ability to reduce odors chemically by neutralizing the acid by-products of bacteria are utilized. It is also used in treating wool and silk, fire extinguishers, pharmacy, leather, oredressing, metallurgy, in cleaning preparations and industrial & chemical processe.

Answer 7

No, flour will not work well as a jewelry cleaner. Mixed with water, it will just turn into a gooey mess....But toothpaste will work very well. Especially the real "paste-y" kind, such as regular Colgate. If you have an old toothbrush, use that along with the toothpaste.
