Baking sodais a common name for the compound Sodium bicarbonate. This is not a super easy question to address.Sodium bicarbonate is amphoteric and can react with eitherstrong acidsor strong bases. This means that inchemical reactionsit can behave as an acid or a base.Sodium bicarbonate has a pKa of greater than 7.0, which would give it a basic pH when dissolved in water.
