    Sodium bicarbonate is a white crystalline powder that slowly decomposes in moist air. It is specified to contain not less than 99.0% and not more than 100.5% of NaHCO3. Impurities such as chloride and sulfate are limited to 150 ppm maximum each. The powder is tested to ensure it meets limits for insoluble substances, residual solvents, arsenic, heavy metals, and ammonia. Granulation is specified with a minimum of 0% and maximum of 2% retained by a 149 micron sieve.
