If it is a powder in its natural state, it must be a solid, not a gas.
Gas
yes baking soda is a powder good question!
There isn't one. Bread Soda is the Irish name for baking soda.
Baking soda is simply bicarbonate of soda that reacts with an acid in batter or dough to produce gas and cause the product to rise. Baking powder is a mixture of baking soda and an acid, along with cornstarch or other ingredients. Substituting baking powder for baking soda or vice versa can cause a product to "fall" or fail to rise.
A solid, usually sold in powder form. Any powder will be of the solid state of matter, even if dispersed in the atmosphere. A gas, by contrast, is a collection of molecular or atomic particles with no definite shape or volume.
powder
Both baking powder and baking soda are "leavening" which means that they produce gas that causes batter or dough to rise. Baking soda is just that, bicarbonate of soda, while baking powder is a mixture of baking soda, an acid, (usually cream of tartar) and a moisture absorber (cornstarch.)
Baking soda does not rise as well as baking powder
No. Baking powder contains baking soda along with an acidic ingredient and salts.See : http://video.answers.com/baking-soda-vs-baking-powder-290159125
No. But they both serve as leavening agents. Baking powder has baking soda in it
the ingredients of baking powder are baking soda and cream of tartar. So baking powder has less baking soda per amount.
