I'm going out on a limb a bit here, but you might be referring to "cream of tartar".
carbon dioxide
when baking powder combines with water, it turns into carbon dioxide which rises in the pastry, causing it to puff
When baking powder is used in baked products it produces carbon dioxide
carbon dioxide
Carbon dioxide, CO2
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.
Water vapor is produced when baking soda and hydrochloric acid are mixed.
yes it creates carbon dioxide
Baking soda is a single ingredient that requires an acidic component to activate and create carbon dioxide bubbles, which help baked goods rise. Baking powder, on the other hand, contains both an acid and a base, so it can create carbon dioxide bubbles on its own without needing an additional acidic ingredient.
By measuring the amount of carbon dioxide given off when the baking powder reacts with an acid
No, baking powder and yeast are not the same when it comes to baking. Baking powder is a chemical leavening agent that reacts with liquid and heat to create carbon dioxide gas, which helps baked goods rise. Yeast, on the other hand, is a living organism that ferments sugars to produce carbon dioxide gas, which also helps baked goods rise.
Baking powder usually is just bicarbonate of soda, that is, baking soda, mixed with an acid. The baking soda and the acid together produce carbon dioxide and acts as a leavening agent.
