Is baking soda an acid or base?
Baking Powder is a proprietary mixture of ingredients, including an alkaline (base) baking soda (base) and acid powder(s) like cream of tartar, MCP and SAS, and often a stabilizer like cornstarch (acid to neutral). Because the PH of a powder is measured when mixed with water, and usually one or more of the acids aren't soluble at room temperature, baking powder will turn from an alkaline to neutral when cooked with a liquid. This chemical reaction causes the release of CO2, which is why my bread has these little holes that makes it so fluffy.
What does carbon dioxide have to do with baking powder?
Baking powder is mostly made of baking soda as well as a weak acid and a weak base. Adding water to baking soda causes it's ingrediants to combine to produce carbon dioxide. When you mix baking soda into a recipe and then add anything with water in it, the carbon dioxide created forms bubbles of gas inside the mixture. This causes the bread or whatever you are making to become fluffy instead of turning into a tough chewy brick when it is baked.
