Answers:
No, they are different.

Other Answers:
well it depends on what you use it for

NO! I don't remember exactly what they are, but I do remember that the only thing they have in common is the word "baking". They can't be substituted if you want edible results. the only thing they have in common is the word baking


No they are two very different ingredients. Use what the recipe calls for.

NO! Baking powder makes things rise.

No they do different things. No, No, No! Baking soda has a quality that induces air. Baking powder doesn't do the same thing!


To make it simple, NO!!!!!!!!DEFINTELY NOT! There is a difference of baking soda and baking powder, they are not interchangeable!! Good luck! Any 24 hour stores you can head to???

Depending on what you are making, it might work. The main difference between baking soda and baking powder is that baking soda will only react (cause baked goods to rise) in the presence of an acid such as buttermilk, vinegar, etc. while baking powder will react with any liquid. That is why baking soda comes in a box, while baking powder comes in an air tight container. So it might work, but the amount you use might need to be adjusted.

You can do it, although the taste may be slightly different. Baking soda relies on an acid being added to the ingredients, while baking powder has an acid "built in". Your recipe may rise more than expected, so make sure you are prepared for this.

sort of- baking soda is sodium bicarbonate baking powder is sodium bicarb + an acid. cream of tartar. Acids in a liquid form eat carbonates releasing CO2 - which is what causes the food to rise-that and steam
single acting baking powders react to water only
double acting baking powders react to water and heat
recipes that call for baking soda have a high acid ingredient some where.
It may be yogurt, it may be butter milk could be lemon juice.
four possible solutions
*see if you have a box of Arm and Hammer in the house - it's baking soda
*borrow or buy some
*try it -see what happens- worst possible case you will have something that may taste a little more tart.
*experiment- assuming it's not the yogurt ,remove 1/2 of your liquid ingredient and substitute water.
have fun
