Uses of baking soda

Here I am not talking about how well we can prepare food using baking soda ! Instead I am telling about chemical nature of baking soda and how we can make use of it in our life. Baking soda is actually Sodium bicarbonate ( NaHCO3 ). It is alkaline in nature and exhibits the property of a base. Basic knowledge we know is if acid and base come in contact with each other, they will neutralise the effect of each other. Now we will see how can we make use of this in our daily life. 1. During summer, chances of milk getting spoiled is more. Now we will look into scientific reason for this. Milk is basically made of LACTIC ACID. If we don't boil the milk in summer, bacteria will soon grow up in the acidic environment and milk gets spoiled. As baking soda is alkaline in nature, we can mix it with milk and prevent it from getting spoiled. 2. When ants bite us or honeybees stung us, we will suffer from pain and burning sensation. What exactly causes it? When ants bite us or honeybees stung us, they inject FOLIC ACID on our skin which causes burning sensation. As baking soda is alkaline in nature , we can use it as a first aid on the wound. 3. It is scientifically proven that whenever the pH of mouth gets below 5.5 , or in other words when mouth becomes acidic then bacteria get active and cause dental cavities. By rinsing our mouth with baking soda after lunch , we can be safe from dental cavities because of its alkaline nature. No....... No...... NO CLAPS PLEASE !!!!!!
