Chemical reaction... When an acid comes in contact with baking soda ( sodium bicarbonate) it releases carbon dioxide which is lighter than air, so the carbon dioxide rises and brings the structure of your baked goods with it

How much more can a cake rise with baking soda than a cake without baking soda?

A cake made with baking soda can rise more than a cake made without it because baking soda reacts with acid in the recipe to produce carbon dioxide gas, which creates bubbles in the batter, causing it to rise. On the other hand, a cake without baking soda may rely on other leavening agents like baking powder or beaten eggs to rise, but it may not rise as much as a cake with baking soda.

Can baking soda be use in place of baking powder for all baking?

No, baking soda cannot replace baking powder in all recipes because baking powder includes a acidic ingredient along with baking soda and certain salts that cause batter or dough to rise. Baking soda is purely alkaline, and requires the addition of some type of acidic ingredient in the recipe to produce the proper rise. Different recipes are formulated for either baking soda or baking powder.I suppose you could, but the recipe will probably taste terrible - and the crust won't rise.
