Drinking Eno powder provides instant relief from stomach ache and gas. Which powder is this, drinking which gives instant relief? Let us tell you that this powder is a mixture of citric acid and sodium bicarbonate i.e. baking soda. This is the reason that as soon as this mixture (powder) comes in contact with water, citric acid and sodium bicarbonate meet each other and this produces sodium citrate and carbon dioxide gas.
At the same time, carbon dioxide does not like to live with sodium citrate in water. Therefore, it tries to come out quickly, while the mixture of water and sodium citrate tries to keep it in the vessel. This is the reason that after adding Eno powder to water, bubbles form rapidly and start bursting. Apart from this, the burping that occurs after drinking Eno is due to carbon dioxide gas.
