Physical Properties: Sodium bicarbonate is an odorless, white crystalline solid or fine powder. It has a slightly alkaline taste. Its density is 2.20 g mL-1 and it decomposes in temperatures above 50 ºC. The decomposition yields to sodium carbonate. It is highly soluble in water and poorly soluble in acetone and methanol. It is insoluble in ethanol.
Chemical Properties: Sodium bicarbonate is an amphoteric compounds, it means the compound has a character acids an basic at the same time. It is highly soluble in water, resulting in a slighty alkaline solution.
i hope this part helps i will continue to research on Toothpaste's properties
