Baking powder and baking soda are both leavening agents, but they serve different purposes. Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is a base that releases carbon dioxide gas when combined with an acid and a liquid, causing baked goods to rise. Baking powder, on the other hand, is a mixture of baking soda and an acid (usually cream of tartar) that's designed to release gas more slowly over time, making it suitable for recipes that don't contain an acidic ingredient.
