Sodium bicarbonate (IUPAC name: sodium hydrogen carbonate) is a chemical compound with the formula NaHCO3. It is a salt composed of sodium ions and bicarbonate ions. Sodium bicarbonate is a white solid that is crystalline but often appears as a fine powder. It has a slightly salty, alkaline taste resembling that of washing soda (sodium carbonate). The natural mineral form is nahcolite. It is a component of the mineral natron and is found dissolved in many mineral springs.
Biochemists go further to tell us that any salt of sodium (sodium chloride or sodium bicarbonate) present in or added to foods or beverages as a seasoning or preservative, and used in many pharmaceutical products as an antacid, acts as an anticoagulant, providing living organisms the necessary means to perform thousands of chemical reactions in situ.
