Yes , that is correct.
So why the two ? For a simple a answer, baked baking soda is much more powerful than baking soda. And to be more simple: 1 unit of baked baking soda will raise the Alk 2 Alk units. And it will take 2 units of baking soda to get the same 2 Alk rise.
Also this is want is in baking soda HCO3-. See that H and pH is a function of how much H there is in water. The lower the pH the more H there is. See this form baked baking soda CO3--. Note there is no H, so it really can boost the pH as it add none. In short, it take 2 of these HCO3- to make one of these CO3--. Note the - vs --, which means twice as much. Now don't anyone run with this to the nearest chem. prof, it is a Dick & Jane explanation.
Ok it is time now for a :hug1:
And no more :nopity:
When were these added, I like them
