Solution

Carbon dioxide is released when baking soda is used to manufacture bakery items like pastry, cake, bread, etc.
Baking soda when heated decomposes to produce carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide produced gets trapped within the dough as bubbles.
This makes the dough rise. Due to this, the bakery items become soft and fluffy.
Therefore, carbon dioxide is released when baking soda is used in the manufacture of bakery items.
