No, no heat is involved when mixing baking powder and water.
Baking powder has tartaric acid in already.
when baking powder combines with water, it turns into carbon dioxide which rises in the pastry, causing it to puff

Of course water, due to its high polarity Carbon dioxide and baking powder easily dissolve in it and then the attack of these compounds on iron nails becomes easier.
Backing powder can be dissolved in lemonade.
For a good long time if it is kept properly stored. Here is a test you can use to make sure your baking powder is usable . Put water in a teaspoon and sprinkle a little bit of the baking powder in the water. If your baking powder is good the water will fizz sort of like a soda does. if you don't hear or see the fizz then baking powder is no good and should be tossed out.

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.
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 powder lightens the texture of cakes by enlarging air bubbles within the batter. The correct use of baking powder makes the difference between a light and fluffy cake.Baking powder has different, beneficial properties for cake baking that other types of leavening agents don't have. Yeast produces the same rising action, but takes two to three hours to produce bubbles. Baking powder reacts with water, whereas baking soda requires the use of a liquid acid such as buttermilk or yogurt to instigate leavening.
