What is the most innovative thing you have used baking soda for?

I usually buy 20 or so boxes (it is very inexpensive) of the no name brand and use it in the swimming pool.....beats the price of buying Ph increaser and is more natural.

CO2. and you can also use vinegar.

Taking baking soda for heartburn:\nNaHCO3 + HCl----->NaCl + H2O + CO2 (burp!)\n\nSomeone left the cap off the hydrogen peroxide bottle:\n2H2O2--->2 H2O + O2 \n\nRotting eggs near fine silverware:\nH2S + Ag --------> AgS (tarnish) + H2  (sounds dangerous!)\n\nPhotosynthesis (Overall reaction)\n6CO2 + 6H2O--------->C6H12O6 +6O2\n\nThe same person left the cap off the bottle of ammonia:\nNH4OH-------------->NH3 + H2O\n\nGrill them burgers( Propane):\nC3H8 + 5O2-----3CO2 + 4H2O\n\nAction of yeast  on sugar:\nMaking bread or making wine:\nC6H12O6------->C2H5OH  +  CO2   (equation not balanced)\n\nRusting of iron:\n4Fe +3 O2--------->2Fe2O3\n\nHey, that aluminum siding looks old:\n  4Al + 3O2------------2Al2O3

Here's some ideas\n\n(1)\nMeasure the hardness and ion content of your local water supply.  You can perform precipitation experiments, measure solid residue after evaporation, and more.\n\n(2)\nSeparate the protein solids and fat from milk.  I think you can do this by adding salt to the milk.  (I've never done it, may be too easy.)\n\n(3)\nDo a project on the danger of confined spaces.  There is a really cool visual experiment that goes along with this.  If you mix vinegar and baking soda in a tall glass you will get a glass full of carbon dioxide.  Since the carbon dioxide is heavier than air, it will stay in the glass for a while (invisibly so).  You can then make a "pouring action" and pour the CO2 into a second glass, although there is no visible flow of gas.  You also need a 3rd glass that has a small, lit candle at the bottom of the glass.  You then make the same pouring action with the second glass into the third and when the CO2 displaces the oxygen and nitrogen in the third glass the candle will get snuffed out.  You can even do this experiment at home for fun!\n\n(4)\nMeasure the pH of common household materials: foods, cleaners, etc.

You can use salt or baking soda instead of herbs as well

They are chemical cousins but not identical  Baking soda is sodium acid carbonate, NaHCO3, while washing soda is sodium carbonate, Na2CO3.  Whether you can get away with the substitution depends on the nature of the project.

When I do this, I use mostly sodium bicarbonate and very little water (just enough to dissolve the baking soda). The point is that the acid is very damaging, so you want to make darn sure that you've neutralized it. The baking soda is not dangerous, so you don't worry if you use excess baking soda. \n\nWhen you're done, and have neutralized the acid, you rinse everything thoroughly with plain water.

How about the effectiveness of different sodas on mold growing. Have you ever left a coke for a week and come back and it was molded? I've always wanted to do that project.

Baking soda alone(not as part of a toothpaste formula) is a mild abrasive and antacid.It will clean your teeth and neutralize harmful acids on them.It will not remove imbedded stains.Use it,but don't expect it to "whiten"damaged enamel.

One of my favorites is making carbon dioxide. I have used this with my nephews and nieces.\n\nYou will need water glass 6 to 8 oz\nbaking soda\nvinegar\nmatches\n\nput a couple teaspoons of baking soda into the glass (you don't need an accurate measurement)\npour in vinegar until the glass is about 1/2 full\nuse the time it fizzes to explain about carbon dioxide (do a little research for this part)\nlight a match and insert the lighted end into the glass (it will go out) or\nlight a match and very carefully tip the glass, pouring the gas over the match, it will go out. Be careful not to spill out the liquid. You won't hurt anything if you do, it just spoils the effect.

you can use bakin soda or even bleach them

Hot glue guns with caustic soda?  Why in the world would you want to do that?
