Acid sodium carbonate (sodium bicarbonate, baking soda) NaHCO3 (other names: baking soda, baking soda) — acid sodium carbonate, in the form of powder of fine grinding of white color.
Sodium bicarbonate reacts with acids, with formation of salt and carbonic acid which right there breaks up to carbon dioxide gas and water:
NaHCO3 + HCl → NaCl + H2CO3
H2CO3 → H2O + CO2 ↑
In cookery such reaction meets with acetic acid, with formation of sodium acetate more often:
NaHCO3 + CH3COOH → CH3COONa + H2O + CO2 ↑

Use of baking soda
