Bicarbonate of soda (aka sodium bicarbonate) is the alkaline that is found in commercial baking powder along with the inert ingredient corn starch primarily used to absorb moisture and prolong shelf life and an acid which can be either fast acting, slow acting or (for most commercial baking powder) both to create a "double acting" baking powder.

Is baking powder a weak or strong alkalis?

Baking powder is considered a weak alkali. It typically contains sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), which is a mild alkaline substance, along with acidifying agents that activate when moistened or heated. This combination allows baking powder to produce carbon dioxide gas, which helps baked goods rise, but it does not have a strong alkaline effect like some other substances.
