Answer:
THE MAIN DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BAKING SODA AND WASHING POWDER IS THAT BAKING SODA RELEASES CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2) WHILE WASHING SODA WILL NOT
UPON HEATING BAKING POWDER (NaHCO3) , CO2 IS EVOLVED WHICH EXTINGUISHES A LIGHTED SPIRIT. OTHER TWO PRODUCTS OBTAINED ARE SODIUM CARBONATE AND WATER
2NaHCO3 = NaCO3+CO2 +H2O
