Baking Powder

Baking powder is a chemical leavening agent used in doughs and batters during cooking. The powder reacts with moisture, heat or acidity, producing carbon dioxide. The result is a "foaming action" which lightens and softens the dough or batter. Baking powder is generally baking soda mixed with an acid, usually acetic acid.

Aeration systems in cakes are a neutralisation reaction.

The acid changes dependant on the characteristics wanted from the leavening system. Quick acting / Slow acting / delayed action / double action etc.

In Baking powder the acid is potassium hydrogen tartrate (Cream of Tarter)

Both Sodium Bicarbonate and Cream of tarter with a little cornstarch are the componants of baking powder.

Both will give very different products ans are used at different dosages, used correctly the correct raising agent can help with not just the height of the product but also the texture/flavour and also the colour.
