Question
An acid $\mathbf{X}$ present in tamarind when mixed with $\mathbf{Y}$, produces a mixture $\mathbf{Z} . \mathbf{Z}$ on addition to a dough when heated makes cakes soft and spongy. $\mathbf{Y}$ is prepared from common salt and helps in faster cooking.
i. Write the common names of $\mathbf{X}, \mathbf{Y}$ and $\mathbf{Z}$, and the chemical formula of $\mathbf{Y}$.
ii. How is $\mathbf{Y}$ prepared and how does it help in making cakes soft and spongy? Illustrate the reaction with suitable chemical equation.
iii. Write the name and chemical formula of a mild base other than $\mathbf{Y}$ used as an antacid.
