Vedclass · Answer

(D) Baking powder is a mixture of a base $(NaHCO_3)$ and an acid source. $Ca(H_2PO_4)_2$ acts as an acidic component. When moistened,it reacts with $NaHCO_3$ to release $CO_2$ gas,which helps the dough rise. $NaAl(SO_4)_2$ (sodium aluminum sulfate) acts as a slow-acting acid. It reacts with $NaHCO_3$ upon heating or in the presence of moisture to release $CO_2$ gradually,ensuring a steady evolution of gas during the baking process. Therefore,both statements $(A)$ and $(B)$ are correct.

List-$A$	List-$B$
$(1)$ Roald Hoffmann	$(A)$ The proportion of the mass of elements in any compound is fixed.
$(2)$ Lavoisier	$(B)$ The smallest indivisible particle of matter is the atom.
$(3)$ Joseph Proust	$(C)$ Chemistry is not the science of $100$ elements.
$(4)$ Dalton	$(D)$ Matter can neither be created nor destroyed.

The more commonly used baking powder contains about $30\%$ $NaHCO_3$,$20\%$ $NaAl(SO_4)_2$,$10\%$ $Ca(H_2PO_4)_2$ and $40\%$ starch. Which of the following statements is/are correct?
