No, you would be better off replacing it with flour. Corn starch isn't really a leavening agent (like baking powder); it is more of a thickening agent that binds things together.
Not all powders. Baby powder is talcum powder or corn starch, and baking powder is baking soda,salt,and starch. But, sulfur sand is usually in powder form.

No. the only thing these two have in comon is the colour.
No, baking soda and baking powder are not the same. Baking soda is a single ingredient (sodium bicarbonate) while baking powder is a mixture of baking soda, an acid, and a starch.
No. Corn starch is usually used as a thickener (for gravies, soups, puddings, etc)., whereas baking soda is used as a puffer-upper for biscuits, cookies and unleavened breads and so on. Use flour as a substitute for corn starch, and baking powder as a substitute for baking soda.
"Baking powder" is a leavening agent and is a mixture of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), one or more acid salts, and a starch (usually cornstarch).
Possibly baking powder?
The weight of one teaspoon of baking powder Is approx 4Grammes
Yes, arrowroot powder, tapioca starch, potato starch, and rice flour can be used as substitutes for cornstarch in cooking and baking.
Baking powder is baking soda plus acid, and is used in recipes that don't have acid--acid being what makes baking soda leaven things. I've used baking powder in recipes that call for baking soda, and it didn't hurt them; maybe they were a bit fluffier but that's okay.
baking soda has a crystalline appearance because it is a form of salt. [edit]Duude you're doing the Mystery Powder Analysis Gizmo lol. Now I have the answer ITS B.salt you are soo right i am doing the Gizmo its annoying!
Baking powder leaves more residual and "cakes" together. Corn starch is a little bigger and doesn't taste like baking powder.
