Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Baking soda (NaHCO3) is essentially sodium bicarbonate, which is transformed into sodium carbonate when heated. When making bread and cakes, baking soda is used. When sodium hydrogen carbonate (baking soda) is combined with water, it combines with tartaric acid, releasing carbon dioxide gas (CO2). This carbon dioxide becomes trapped in the moist dough and gently bubbles out, making the cake soft and spongy. These become softer and spongier as a result.
