Depends on what reciepe you are using and what the purpose is: I often use yeast but in some recipes depending on the fluffiness of the cake I will sometimes use baking soda. A friend of mine uses "fizzy water" (carbonated water) as an alternative.
Yeast is only used in bread related recipes, whereas bicarb can be used n cakes

Baking Soda in a recipe is to help with 'spreadability of the cookie or cake. You don't use it in pancakes so you want the batter to 'stay put'. In a cookie, you want it to spread out a bit, in the cake, you want it to fill in the space of the pan.
Baking Soda and Baking Powder CAN be used for each other in a subbing situation. They are both considered leavening agents. In choosing to substitute one for the other you have to know the ratio AND the fact the flavor WILL be DIFFERENT.
1 TSP of Baking Soda needs 3 TSP of Baking Powder. OMIT all SALT.
Reverse it to use soda instead of baking powder.
You can also use 2 tsp soda and 1 tsp cream of tarter to create BAKING POWDER. Again, omit the salt from the recipe.
AGAIN, any substitutions of ingredients, expect flavor change to happen.
I'm not sure there is an alternative :S
Yes, sodium bicarbonate and soda bicarbonate are the same compound. Sodium bicarbonate is commonly known as baking soda or bicarbonate of soda.
bicarbonate soda is another name for baking soda
No. bicarbonate of soda (sodium bicarbonate) is made of sodium, hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen.
An alternative name (and the preferred modern nomenclature) is sodium hydrogen carbonate.Perhaps, though, you were looking for the common name, which is "baking soda" (not baking powder, that's sodium carbonate).
Sodium bi-carbonateBaking soda is called sodium bicarbonate, or sodium hydrogen carbonate.
One alternative for sodium carbonate is potassium carbonate, which is a similar compound that can be used in many of the same applications. Another alternative is bicarbonate of soda (baking soda), which can be used for some similar purposes with slight differences in properties.
you cannot cook with washing soda, it is totally different from bicarbonate of soda(baking soda)
Yes
Sodium bicarbonate.
Baking Soda IS bicarbonate of soda. It is one in the same. Arm & Hammer (the most popular brand of baking soda in the U.S.) list it's ingredient as sodium bicarbonate, it is nothing more than bicarbonate of soda.
When you add bicarbonate of soda to black tea, the tea will turn a greenish-brown color due to a change in pH levels caused by the bicarbonate of soda. This may vary depending on the concentration of the bicarbonate of soda used.
