Can you mix baking powder and yeast?
Yes it aids in the rising. When a recipe contains baking powder and baking soda, the baking powder does most of the leavening. The baking soda is added to neutralize the acids in the recipe plus to add tenderness and some leavening.
What occurs when acids and basses combine?

What is the liquid that are produce effervescence when reacted with sodium carbonate solution?
The liquid that produces effervescence when reacted with sodium carbonate solution is an acid. The reaction between the acid and sodium carbonate produces carbon dioxide gas, which causes the effervescence. Common acids that can produce this reaction include hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and citric acid.
Is baking powder an acid or an alkali?
Baking powder is an alkali Actually baking powder is a blend of both acid and alkali. It generally contains acids such as calcium acid phosphate, sodium aluminum sulfate or cream of tartar and the alkali sodium bicarbonate also known as baking soda. It's due to this blend that, after coming into contact with a liquid it is able to create carbon dioxide bubbles which are used as for leavening in baking.
Is baking soda a liquid?
No, it is a powder unless it is dissolved in water (in which case it would be a solution of baking soda).See the Related Questions for more information about baking soda.
How is baking soda and baking powder the same?
No, baking soda is pure sodium bicarbonate, which reacts with acids in other ingredients of a recipe to create CO2 bubbles an lighten the mixture. Baking powder contains sodium bicarbonate and produces CO2 in the same way, but it contains the acid mixed in with it already. Both baking powder and baking soda (which is called bicarbonate of soda in the uk) are used to do the same thing leaven, or lighten up, a recipe. But they are not the same thing.
What are the health benefits of incorporating bases, such as baking soda or baking powder, into food recipes?

What other things do baking soda react to?
Baking soda can react with acids, such as vinegar or lemon juice, to produce carbon dioxide gas and water. It can also react with heat to release carbon dioxide, which helps dough rise. Additionally, baking soda can react with proteins to help with browning in baked goods.
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)
