• Sodium bicarbonate  commonly known as baking
soda  is a chemical compound with the
formula NaHCO3.
Baking soda is used to leaven many “quick breads” like 
pancakes, muffins, cakes, and fried foods. Because
baking soda produces gas quickly, it is not necessary to
let the batter rise for long periods as with yeast bread.

Baking soda is well known for its ability to absorb odors.

For this reason, baking soda is often placed in 
refrigerators, freezers.

Baking Soda acts a cleaning agent because it is a mild

alkali and can cause dirt and grease to dissolve easily in
water for effective removal. ... Because Baking Soda is a
pure, natural product that is also a food, it is non-toxic,
unlike many other household cleaners.
