Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate. Baking powder is a mixture of sodium bicarbonate and acid salts . Actually we used baking powder for food purpose and room temperature; micro air bubbles . Baking soda; aka sodium bicarbonate can be harvested from natural sources or created in a lab in mass quantities.
Baking powder is baking soda with cream of tartar added to it.
the ingredients of baking powder are baking soda and cream of tartar. So baking powder has less baking soda per amount.
The chemical formula difference between baking soda and baking powder is that baking soda is sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) while baking powder is a mixture of sodium bicarbonate and an acid, such as cream of tartar.
Baking powder is a 1:3 ratio of baking soda to cream of tartar. You cannot just substitute cream of tartar for baking powder - you also need the baking soda.
Yes, you can use both baking powder and cream of tartar in a recipe. Baking powder already contains an acid (usually cream of tartar) along with baking soda, so adding cream of tartar can enhance the leavening effect or provide additional acidity. However, if a recipe calls for baking powder, you typically don't need to add extra cream of tartar unless specified.
If you do not have cream of tartar, baking powder will work just as well, or better. If the recipe calls for both cream of tartar and baking soda, leave out the soda if you use baking powder - it already has soda in it.
Baking powder can be made without cream of tartar by combining baking soda with an acidic ingredient like lemon juice or vinegar. This mixture can be used as a substitute for commercial baking powder in recipes.

I'm not positive. The reverse substitution is for 1 tsp. of baking powder, you use 1/4-1/2 tsp. of baking soda and 1/2 tsp. cream of tartar. So you could try using baking powder instead of cream of tartar, but it's not guaranteed. If there is supposed to be baking soda and cream of tartar in the recipe and you substituted baking powder, that would be more likely to succeed.
