Answer 1

hey mate !!! here is ur answer -

Baking soda is a base—it’s alkaline in nature . When you mix a base (baking soda) with an acid (vinegar) you get a reaction (bubbles).

So if you encounter a baking recipe that uses baking soda, often that recipe will have an acidic element as well, such as vinegar, lemon juice, buttermilk, molasses, or yogurt. When the two come into contact, bubbles of carbon dioxide are formed, creating the leavening in your dough or batter.

Baking soda will create leavening on its own when it is heated . but unless it is balanced with an acidic ingredient, the resulting taste may be metallic.

Baking soda can last quite a long time if stored sealed in a cool, dry space.

Baking powder however is problematic. It can last 3 months, or it can last a year. If you are in a humid environment, once opened, baking powder might not last more than a few months.

so due to these reasons baking soda is preferred than baking powder .
