Is baking powder the same as baking soda?!
A word of warning: they're not interchangeable in recipes, been there, done that, and had to threw it in the bin, lol.
Answers: No, baking p. is baking soda + cream of tartar.

no
no but they are both leavening agents
Baking Soda
Baking soda is pure sodium bicarbonate. When baking soda is combined with moisture and an acidic ingredient (e.g., yogurt, chocolate, buttermilk, honey), the resulting chemical reaction produces bubbles of carbon dioxide that expand under oven temperatures, causing baked goods to rise. The reaction begins immediately upon mixing the ingredients, so you need to bake recipes which call for baking soda immediately, or else they will fall flat!
Baking Powder
Baking powder contains sodium bicarbonate, but it includes the acidifying agent already (cream of tartar), and also a drying agent (usually starch).
\\Baking powder is available as single-acting baking powder and as double-acting baking powder. Single-acting powders are activated by moisture, so you must bake recipes which include this product immediately after mixing. Double-acting powders react in two phases and can stand for a while before baking. With double-acting powder, some gas is released at room temperature when the powder is added to dough, but the majority of the gas is released after the temperature of the dough increases in the oven.
Baking soda is Bicarbonate of Soda.... so no.
Baking soda is plain Sodium bicarb, while baking powder is bicarb and acid, such a tartaric or citric acid. When mixed with water baking powder foams and gives of CO2.
NO! Do not try and substitute.
