What is 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, such as tartaric acid. On heating or when water is added, the acid reacts with the soda to release carbon dioxide, making cakes and bread rise. Iron, chlorine and copper are not added for this purpose. Exam tip: Remember the difference between baking soda and baking powder—baking powder also contains an acid.
