Question

How Does baking soda able to control fire ?

Answer 1

When sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) is heated, it becomes sodium carbonate. In this process water and carbon dioxide is released. The CO2 starves the fire of O2.

Fun chemistry experiment: baking soda in an oven at 400 degrees F will undergo this reaction. The sodium carbonate (also known as washing soda) is used in pools as well as a cleaner for coffee makers. You can buy a 12 pound bag of baking soda in the pool section at Walmart and make this compound cheaper than buying it. Google Washing Soda to see what else you can do with it.
