Hi: I am a high school student doing a mini-lab on baking soda. I know this is kind of late, but I still need
some questions answered about baking soda. How does baking soda accomplish the task of extinguishing grease fires?
And why is baking soda preferable to water when achieving this task? Also, it is known that baking soda is a
leavening ingredient, but how does it accomplish this task? If anyone knows the answers to these questions, could
you please take a few minutes to e-mail them to me? This would be great help to my lab report. Thank you!
