The polar bear (Ursus maritimus) is a carnivorous bear whose native range lies largely within the Arctic Circle, encompassing the Arctic Ocean, its surrounding seas and surrounding land masses. It is a large bear, approximately the same size as the omnivorous Kodiak bear (Ursus arctos middendorffi).
All baking powders contain sodium bicarbonate (just like baking soda). But baking powder also contains two acids. One of these acids is called monocalcium phosphate. Monocalcium phosphate doesnât react with the sodium bicarbonate while itâs dry.
Baking powder is a mix of baking soda (or another carbon-dioxide producing chemical), a powdered acid such as cream of tartar, and a starch to keep the chemicals dry. When moistened, the powdered acid reacts with the soda, releasing carbon dioxide for lift in recipes without a strong acidic component.
