You can use baking soda to raise the pH level in a hot tub, however soda ash will work better. Borax even better than that. The issue with baking soda is that it more readily raises Total Alkalinity so will have a larger effect on TA rather than pH.

Why does baking soda make a cookie rise?

Baking soda is a rising agent. Some others are baking powder, yeast, beaten egg whites and other things. With out it your cookies will be thin, flat, hard and heavy, instead of light and/or crunchy. Baking powder is relatively slow acting, especially when compared to baking soda (sodium bicarbonate). Baking powder is a mixture of baking soda, a base, and cream of tartar, an acid, when mixed with a liquid the two combine and a gas, carbon dioxide,CO2, is released. The tiny bubbles make the dough rise. The liquid is usually added last thing before baking so the bubbles don't just dissipate into the air. The cookies go into a hot oven so the dough begins to set up and the bubbles separate the small particles of firm dough instead of just being baked as bubbles into the otherwise hard cookie.

What do you combine with baking soda boiling water to unclog a sink drain?

Pour 1/2 cup of baking soda down the drain followed slowly by white vinegar. It will foam and bubble. Let it sit about 5-10 minutes, then flush the drain with hot water. It will also remove odors from the drain. This works best in a kitchen drain that is running slow, not completely stopped up. I don't think it works as well on hair clogs.

Can soda go in a humidifier?

I'm unsure if you mean soda pop or baking soda. A mixture of a small amount of baking soda in warm or hot water can be used to clean the basin of a humidifier. All surfaces should be thoroughly wiped and dried to remove leftover baking soda residue. Do not run the humidifier with the baking soda mixture in the machine, unless you have gotten specific directions to do this from a manufacturer. However, soda pop cannot be used in a humidifier whether to run or to clean it. :-)
