No, baking soda is pure sodium bicarbonate, which reacts with acids in other ingredients of a recipe to create CO2 bubbles an lighten the mixture. Baking powder contains sodium bicarbonate and produces CO2 in the same way, but it contains the acid mixed in with it already.

well baking soda is just baking soda
while baking powder is baking soda plus two dry acids
baking soda reacts with acid ingredient to produce gas or act as a leavening agent

if you don't add an acid ingredient your product will taste both soapy and bitter
baking powder ONLY reacts with the baking soda and two dry acids within itself
it will not react with anything else
it also acts as a leavening agent and produces gas
