baking powder isn't an acid.
wrong there are acids in it...
CookingMain article: leavening agentSodium bicarbonate is primarily used in cooking (baking) where it reacts with other components to release carbon dioxide, that helps dough"rise". The acidic compounds that induce this reaction include phosphates, cream of tartar, lemon juice, yogurt, buttermilk, cocoa, vinegar, etc. Sodium bicarbonate can be substituted for baking powder provided sufficient acid reagent is also added to the recipe.[3] Many forms of baking powder contain sodium bicarbonate combined with one or more acidic phosphates (especially good) or cream of tartar. It can also be used for softening peas (⅛ tsp. per pint of water and bring to boil for one hour)
Thermal decomposition causes sodium bicarbonate alone to act as a raising agent by releasing carbon dioxide at baking temperatures. The mixture for cakes using this method can be allowed to stand before baking without any premature release of carbon dioxide

What are the different types of baking soda available in the market?
The main types of baking soda available in the market are regular baking soda, aluminum-free baking soda, and baking powder. Regular baking soda is the most common and versatile type used for baking and cleaning. Aluminum-free baking soda is preferred by some people who are sensitive to aluminum.

Do yeast bread contains baking powder?
Neither baking soda nor baking powder is a yeast, but each is a leavening agent. In addition, baking powder contains cornstarch, which those who observe Passover strictly do not consume. It is correct to say that baking soda and baking powder both are not yeast as yeast is a living fungus. Yeast however is also a leavening agent. Baking soda is bicarbonate of soda or sodium bicarbonate and it's chemical compound formula is NaHCO3. Baking powder is a combination of bicarbonate of soda, corn starch, & usually 2 acids depending on the type of baking powder. Also those who observe Passover do not eat leavened bread, which is bread made without any leavening agent be it baking powder, baking soda, or yeast. Generally unleavened bread for passover is baked with a dough made of flour, water, & salt. (NO LEAVENING AGENT WHATSOEVER)

What type of acid vinegar contain?

What can be used as a substitute for baking soda?
The effervescence is due to the fact that carbon dioxide is being formed. Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate, and when it reacts with an acid (in this case acetic acid in vinegar) carbon dioxide is formed. This means you can use pretty much any acid you want. In short: anything acidic, eg. lemon juice (citric acid), hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, etc.

Can you use baking powder in corn pie?
I know of no version of corn pie that would need baking powder. Most are custard based but don't use leavening. A couple call for a little flour, but baking powder wouldn't work and isn't necessary. So I'd say, no, you shouldn't use baking powder in corn pie, unless there is a different type out there that needs to rise.
