What is generally mixed with baking soda in baking powder?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Mild edible acid

Baking powder is a mixture of baking soda (sodium hydrogen carbonate) and a mild edible acid. In the presence of moisture or heat, the acid reacts with baking soda to release carbon dioxide, which makes cakes and bread rise. Slaked lime is alkaline and is not used for this purpose. Exam tip: Remember: baking soda + mild edible acid = baking powder.
