A. Klo-Jann: That's because you didn't make the tartaric acid [powder] into liquid form (such as dissolving it in water) at all. You said it was powder. After you have dissolved it, you can use litmus to test it! As for the properties, you MAY refer to

Does anyone know how to get tartaric acid?
Q. It is for a recipe...can it be derived from somewhere? Or does it have to be bought? Thanks!

A. It is in your local supermarket. Go to the aisle where the cooking and baking stuff like flour and all the cake ingredients like bicard soda and baking powder is, and you'll find it there, it is a powder and comes in a small container. It's very cheap to buy, not something you would make yourself. No need to go looking in home brew shops, or any other speciality shops. It is readily available at your local store. It is not called Cream of Tartar, that is something completely different! Happy baking Togs

A. It helps it to set because strawberries dont have much pectin in them for this to happen easily as it does with most other fruits.Apples are rich in it and thats why some jams have apples added, to aid setting.

A. Baking powder is used to impart fluffiness to a cake... Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate decomposes to Sodium Carbonate and Carbon-di-oxide...The Carbon-di-oxide helps make the cake fluffy...Sodium Carbonate is bitter in taste...which is removed using tartaric acid

Asked by hzairyarzms - Wed Jun 11 00:15:17 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Tartaric acid isn't as much 'made' as naturally formed. Tartaric acid is a white crystalline organic acid. It occurs naturally in many plants, particularly grapes, bananas, and tamarinds, and is one of the main acids found in wine. It is added to other foods to give a sour taste, and is used as an antioxidant. Salts of tartaric acid are known as tartrates. It is a dihydroxy derivative of dicarboxylic acid. Tartaric acid was first isolated from potassium tartrate, known to the ancients as tartar, c. 800 by the Persian alchemist Jabir ibn Hayyan,[citation needed] who was also responsible for numerous other basic chemical processes still in use today. The modern process was developed in 1769 by the Swedish chemist Carl Wilhelm Scheele. The… [cont.]

Asked by tchelle - Thu Apr 30 04:10:02 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Baking powder there are three ways you can substitute for baking powder, depending on the recipe: 1 teaspoon baking powder equals 1/4 teaspoon baking soda plus 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar; or, 1 teaspoon baking powder equals 1/2 teaspoon baking soda plus 1/2 cup buttermilk or plain yogurt: and 1 teaspoon baking powder also equals 1/4 teaspoon baking soda plus 1/3 cup molasses. When using the substitutions that include liquid, reduce other liquid in recipe accordingly.

Protons of Tartaric acid?
Q. How many protons will 2.075 g of tartaric acid provide for reaction with NaOH?
Asked by nicole - Fri Oct 10 10:46:37 2008 - - 1 Answers - 1 Comments

A. tartaric acid is a diprotic acid which means for every "mole" of tartaric acid there are two moles of protons available for reaction. so for 2.075 grams of tartaric acid this is equal to 2.075/150.9 grams/mole = 0.013 moles of tartaric acid so one will have 2 X 0.0138 moles of protons = 0.02767 moles of protons
