Is the baking soda acidic or basic?
Baking soda is basic.
The pH of a substance is a measure of its acidity or basicity. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral. A pH below 7 indicates acidity, while a pH above 7 indicates basicity.
Baking soda has a pH of about 8.3, which means that it is basic. This is because baking soda is a salt that is composed of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3). When sodium bicarbonate dissolves in water, it releases hydroxide ions (OH-), which increase the pH of the solution.
