reversiublrt
Baking powder (baking soda + some acid salts) will release CO2 (carbon dioxide gas) when placed in water. So, even though, in theory, all reactions are reversible, it is not likely that baking powder in water is reversible once the CO2 gas has formed.
Baking powder is generally considered a reversible reaction in water, as it dissolves and dissociates into its components, allowing it to react chemically when mixed with other ingredients. However, the reaction that occurs when baking powder is heated (producing carbon dioxide gas) is irreversible. Thus, while its dissolution in water is reversible, the subsequent chemical reactions during baking are irreversible.
reversible?
The chemical reaction that results when baking power is combined with vinegar is irreversible. Once combined, the two elements cannot be separated, and the action of acid on base cannot be reversed.
when green powder is heated, it turns black and a gas is produced. in irreversible changes, new materials are always formed. given that a gas is produced, which is a new material, heating green powder is an irreversible change.
Baking powder is a mixture of backing soda and other compounds

That depends on what is being mixed together. Two examples of this are: If you mix sand, gravel, and water it is reversible and you can separate the mixture back to its original three parts. If you mix sand, gravel, water, and cement powder it is not reversible as the water will react with the cement powder creating liquid cement and the sand and gravel will form concrete with the liquid cement. After a few hours the liquid cement in the concrete will set and the concrete mixture will become as hard as rock. It is now no longer possible to separate the mixture back to its original four parts.
"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).
heterogenous
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.
A homemade substitute for baking powder that can be used in baking recipes is a mixture of cream of tartar and baking soda.
