Yes, but you should only use 1/3 of the amount of baking powder specified, when switching to baking soda. i.e do not substitute on a 1:1 basis. Baking powder is a 1:3 ratio of baking soda to cream of tartar. So although baking soda is not exactly the same as baking powder, it is also far stronger. Your cookies will turn out slightly differently, but using baking soda is better than leaving out both leavening agents, since this will result in really hard cookies. Alternatively, use self-raising flour and miss out baking powder and soda.
No. Baking powder works because it has both and ACID and an ALKALINE. Baking (bicarbonate of) soda is just an ALKALINE. To use as a baking agent you would need an ACID (CREAM OF TARTAR).
BAKING POWDER = SODIUM BICARBONATE + CREAM OF TARTAR
No, I do not think it is very healthy or wise to cook with it. I think you Bargain for TUMMY ache instead. I just do not believe it is used in baking. I believe that the food you may try to eat later will be very bitter and I would just run down to the store and get baking powder
No, the two ingredients perform completely different functions.
no. they are not the same thing. usually your supposed to put baking soda and baking powder in muffins
Yes. They will not raise quite as much, but should still be alright.
Baking powder gives more lift than soda. Soda will still work if that's all you have.
No, no way. Lol. It'll taste like shyt.
Baking powder and salt.
You could use yeast instead of baking powder.
You cannot use baking powder as a substitute for baking soda

No. there is a chemical reaction with the baking soda and the other ingredients, not with the flour.
Baking powder is a 1:3 ratio of baking soda to cream of tartar. You cannot just substitute cream of tartar for baking powder - you also need the baking soda.
Baking powder is not the same as baking soda. Baking powder is a 1:3 ratio of baking soda to cream of tartar, which are both raising agents designed for different purposes - one of them is activated by water, the other by heat. Baking soda is "strong" compared to baking powder, and is not a direct substitute for baking powder.
You will just have to wait until you get some, there is no other substitute.
The original Nestlés Toll House cookies (chocolate chip cookies) recipe calls for baking soda, not baking powder. There is no substitute for baking soda or baking powder in a recipe. You have to have it.
If you are using it as a levening agent, you can substitute baking powder. One teaspoon of baking powder replaces 1/3 tsp of baking soda AND 2/3 tsp cream of tartar.
