The Science of Desert

• People bake cake everyday but do they understand the reaction?

• What makes it rise?

• What makes it so light and fluffy?

• What is the science of dessert???

The Science of Dessert

• When heat is added to the products, CO₂ is released creating air bubbles in the cake.

• This causes the cake to rise and be light and fluffy!!

• The reaction in a baking soda volcano is similar to that of baking soda in cake. In both the mixture produces CO₂ bubbles which rise up.

NaHCO₃ + HNa + H₂O + CO₂

Evidence of Chemical Change

• Gas is produced in bubbles that cause the cake to rise. This happens when the CO₂ is released.

• Applying heat causes the reaction to occur when you bake the cake.

Setting & Background

• This is just one of the many reactions that occurs in the kitchen!!!
