About This Product
In gas-evolution demonstrations, acid is added slowly to the bicarbonate so that foaming and carbon dioxide release stay controlled. The reagent also dissolves in clean water to make solutions for neutralisation and buffer work, and it features in supervised biology activities involving carbon dioxide release. Dust is avoided, and the container is kept away from acids and moisture.
