(Hint: Google 'limiting reagents' and 'excess reagents'.) Baking soda reacts with tartaric acid to form gas, in the following reaction: NaHCO3 + KHC4H4O6 ----> KNaC4H4O6 + H2O + CO2 :) I had fun with it in Chem class, though I've never done it for a science fair. <br><b>References : </b><br> You could study the acid-base reaction that causes baking to rise, and report your findings, etc…or you could adjust the amounts of baking soda/tartaric acid and monitor the results.
