(b) Baking soda can be converted into baking powder by adding tartaric acid and starch.
(d) Tartaric acid is added to neutralize the bitterness produced by the baking powder. Also when baking powder mixes with water, then the sodium hydrogen carbonate reacts with tartaric acid to evolve carbon dioxide gas which gets trapped in the wet dough and bubbles out slowly making the cake to rise and hence 'soft and spongy' thus endowing them with a light, fluffy texture. The equation which takes place can be shown as:
NaHCO3 + H+ → Na+ + CO2 + H2O
Baking soda is turned into baking powder through the addition of tartaric acid along with starch in it.
