Key Terms:
Aqueous solution: A solution that contains substances dissolved in water (Sodium Bicarbonate, 2006).
Byproduct: A secondary product that is also made in a manufacture for another product (Byproduct, n.d).
Precipitate: A substance that is created from a solution during a chemical reaction (Sodium Bicarbonate, 2006).
Blowing agents: "Blowing agents are substances that produce large volumes of gas that convert a molten product into a foamy product" ("Sodium Bicarbonate," 2006, para.14).
Substance: A specific type of matter that has uniform properties. (Substance, n.d).
Double-acting baking powder: The baking powder reacts two times, one of the acids dissolves when it's added to water and the other dissolves when it's heated in the oven. The result is that the product becomes light and fluffy (Stradley(b), n.d).
