Baking powder contains sodium bicarbonate, and the way it works as a raising agent is through an acid-base reaction releasing large amounts of gas. The same occurs when mixed with vinegar: the acid and bicarbonate react and create large volumes of carbon dioxide and hydrogne gases - they bubble and fizz up a lot.

What happens if you heat baking powder?

When you heat baking powder, it releases carbon dioxide gas, which helps baked goods rise. This reaction occurs quickly when the baking powder is mixed with a liquid and heated in the oven. Heating baking powder at high temperatures can cause it to lose its leavening power over time.

How much vinegar do you use to clean house?

Generally it is best to mix 1/2 vinegar and 1/2 water, but you can use more vinegar for better cleaning power. I generally use straight vinegar to clean bathrooms, kitchen counters and when I clean the dishwasher every month, but for general cleaning I have a spray bottle of half water have vinegar and it usually does the trick.

Has athe levening agent been decreased in your baking soda?

Baking soda is only a leavening agent in recipes that contain some kind of acetic ingredient such as vinegar, citrus juice, or sour cream. Baking soda is simply bicarbonate of soda, a chemical that is always the same substance. Baking power is more commonly used as a leavening agent because it contains cream of tartar (or some other acidic compound) to cause the production of carbon dioxide.
