a non-alcoholic beverage, sweetened by various means, containing flavoring and supersaturated with carbon dioxide, so as to be effervescent when the container is opened; -- in different localities it is variously called also soda pop, pop, mineral water, and minerals. It has many variants. The sweetening agent may be natural, such as cane sugar or corn syrup, or artificial, such as saccharin or aspartame. The flavoring varies widely, popular variants being fruit or cola flavoring.
Carbonated, slightly mineralized, water.
sodium carbonate, Na2CO3 ( washing soda), or sodium hydrogen carbonate, NaHCO3 ( baking soda) [ Dalton, Lavoisier, Prout, Rayleigh]. Caustic soda was sodium hydroxide, NaOH. [ Mendeleev]. See also fossil alkali, marine alkali, common mineral alkali.
carbonate or bicarbonate of sodium; alkaline leavening agent used in combination with leavening acids.
a sodium salt of carbonic acid; used in making soap powders and glass and paper
a sweet drink containing carbonated water and flavoring; "in New England they call sodas tonics"
Soda hydroxide, white glassy solid material very soluble in water and alcohol. It is obtained by the dissolution of sodium chloride by electrolysis.
Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate (sodium hydrogen-carbonate). When heated, or when it reacts with acids or salts of acids, it releases carbon dioxide and thus leavens the product. _Top of page
Sodium carbonate or sodium oxide sometimes called soda ash; a major constituent in glass.
effervescent soft drink, fizzy drink, pop [colloq.
Any of various forms of sodium carbonate used in making soap, powders, glass, and paper.
bicarbonate of soda; a leavening agent used in early baking recipes, particularly with buttermilk, sour milk, cream, fruits or chocolate. Any of these, when heated with soda give off a gas that causes the dough to rise
Sodium carbonate. Soda (or alternatively potash) is commonly used as the alkali ingredient of glass. It serves as a flux to reduce the fusion point of the silica when the batch is melted.
