Baking powder is a mixture of a weak acid and carbonate. It's widely used as a leavening agent. It's the mildest of sodium alkalis, it's odorless, solid, crystalline and completely soluble in water.
The proper substitution for baking powder is half baking soda and half cream of tartar. They both have leavening properties. If you don't have cream of tartar available, I guess I would go toward 2/3 - 3/4 baking soda and the rest cornstarch.
it depends on the kind of baking soda you want. the most common price is $3
To replace for example 3 teaspoons of baking powder with baking soda, mix 1 teaspoon of baking soda with 2 teaspoons of cream of tartar.
To make a 7-gram mixture with baking soda, you would need 7 grams of baking soda. This results in a mixture where baking soda constitutes 100% of the total weight.

Correct, 3 teaspoons in 1 tablespoon
The pH of baking soda is approximately 8, making it a weak base.
Using Baking Powder Instead of Baking Soda* You need to use 2-3 times more baking powder than baking soda. The extra ingredients in the baking powder will have an effect on the taste of whatever you are making, but this isn't necessarily bad. * Ideally, triple the amount of baking soda to equal the amount of baking powder. So, if the recipe called for 1 tsp baking soda, you would use 3 tsp baking powder. * What I do is compromise... I use twice the amount of baking powder as baking soda (add 2 tsp of baking powder if the recipe calls for 1 tdp baking soda), plus I omit the salt (which adds flavor but also affects rising in some recipes).
One flat tablespoon of baking soda equals 3 grams.
No! It is a alkaline! Hence, if your PH is below 7, add baking soda! Leave for 3 hours in the oven and eat.
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.
There are 9 teaspoons in 3 tablespoons, so you would need 9 teaspoons of baking soda.
