If too little baking soda is used, the product will not rise properly.
Helps Rise
No, baking soda cannot substitute for baking soda because they are the same thing. Baking soda is just another name for sodium bicarbonate.
yesMore information:Although the purpose of adding baking soda to cookie dough is to help the cookies rise, adding baking soda to a recipe that does not call for it could have the opposite affect. Too much baking soda, or adding baking soda in addition to baking powder, might also ruin the taste of the cookies.
Baking soda allows the food to cook thoroughly and evenly. It allows for even cooking through all parts of the food.
Heating the baking soda decomposes it, releasing CO2 gas, thus having the same effect as adding acid.
It depends on what the recipe is
Helps Rise
The recipe that I use calls for baking soda.
To replace for example 3 teaspoons of baking powder with baking soda, mix 1 teaspoon of baking soda with 2 teaspoons of cream of tartar.
Baking powder is a mixture of baking soda, starch and an acid (often tartar) to activate the baking soda. Since baking soda is already in the baking powder, it is possible you will not need any additional baking soda. Baking powder and baking soda are used to "raise" or puff up the pastry - too little and it will not raise properly...too much and it will taste like soda. If you do not have a specific recipe, you will need to experiment.

yes indeed
Baking soda will cause things to rise also. Muffins are smaller so there is not as much need for lift. Baking powder will give more rise than soda. Whoever created the recipe chose to use soda instead of baking powder.
Adding baking soda causes bubbling or effervescence.

If the recipe calls for it, yes.
Add a teaspoon of baking soda for each cup of sour milk.
