sodium hydrogen carbonate

I think someone must have the experience that annoyed by the dirt no matter in kitchen or bathroom. To make cleaning our home more easily, let me introduce a useful chemical compound in this essay. The name of it is sodium hydrogen carbonate.

      Before knowing how to apply sodium hydrogen carbonate, we need to have a basic knowledge about it. Sodium hydrogen carbonate is also called sodium bicarbonate. As the picture showed right side, it is usually seen in white powder. Its important properties such as weak base, decomposing while heating or blending with acid.  

     

        Because of the most of the dirt in kitchen is oil or acid compound, we can use the weak base, sodium hydrogen carbonate to neutralize it. That is you can clean the oil dirt easily. In addition to neutralization, due to the second properties I told, when we blend the sodium hydrogen carbonate with acid solution, it can produce very small carbon dioxide, which can clean more kinds of dirt. What’s more, for the sake of its basic property, bacteria will be hard to live in the same place. In other words, you don’t need to clean it very often.

        There are several applications on sodium hydrogen carbonate I don’t mention. For example, using on neutralize gastric acid, baking bread or making soap in industry. If you want to know more about them, you can go to this website.more knowledge about sodium bicarbonate
