baking soda is a base while vinegar is an acid
If one is working with equal amounts, baking soda might produce more carbon dioxide when mixed with vinegar, because baking powder is already combined with an acidic ingredient.
they do because they just do
You might be thinking of baking soda, which needs vinegar, buttermilk, or lemon juice to activate. Baking powder is a blend of simple chemicals, and activates with water.
Baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, eggs (both whites and yolks) and yeast.
It bubbles up, like baking soda and vinegar
Baking powder is a mix of baking soda a base and either citric or cream of tartar as a acid to create a chemical reaction that leavens by creating air bubbles. If you add 1tsp of vinegar, lemon juice to your wet ingredients or 1tsp of cream of tartar or citric acid powder per tsp of baking soda, your recipe rise properly.
No, it is a powder unless it is dissolved in water (in which case it would be a solution of baking soda).See the Related Questions for more information about baking soda.
Vinegar and baking soda react to form carbon dioxide (a gas), water (a liquid), and sodium acetate which is solid in is pure form, but when formed by the vinegar-baking soda reaction is dissolved in water.
Baking soda is already an ingredient of baking powder so by mixing the two you would be simply changing the proportion of baking soda to baking powder. It will make no real difference to the outcome if you make up the volume of raising agent the recipe calls for with any proportion of baking powder to baking soda. As a safeguard you may like to add a teaspoon of white vinegar or a tablespoon of yoghurt or buttermilk to a cupcake recipe made with baking soda - the acid in the vinegar/yoghurt/buttermilk will react with the Soda to release carbon dioxide which will make you cupcakes rise.
Yes, because it doesn't like black people. Vin-Niger.
There isn't one. Bread Soda is the Irish name for baking soda.
