Baking powder reacting with citric acid (present in lemon juice) , a weak organic acid.
Baking powder is a dry chemical leavening agent used to increase the volume & lighten the texture of baked goods (muffins, cakes, scones).
Baking powder works by releasing carbon dioxide gas into a batter or dough through an acid-base reaction, causing bubbles in the wet mixture to expand and thus leavening the mixture.
Acid-activated decomposition of baking soda can be generically represented as NaHCO3 + H+ → Na+ + CO2 + H2O
The acid in a baking powder can be either fast-acting or slow-acting. Â Low-temperature acid salts include cream of tartar & monocalcium phosphate (calcium acid phosphate). Â High-temperature acid salts include sodium aluminum sulfate, sodium aluminum phosphate, & sodium acid pyrophosphate.
