Baking soda cannot be directly substituted for yeast in bread recipes, as they function differently in leavening. Baking soda needs an acid (like buttermilk or vinegar) to activate and produce carbon dioxide gas, while yeast requires time to ferment and create gas. However, you can use baking soda in quick breads like pancakes or muffins that rely on baking powder for leavening.
Baking soda can react with acidic ingredients like vinegar or lemon juice to release carbon dioxide gas. This gas forms bubbles that help create a light and airy texture in baked goods like cakes and muffins.
No, baking soda is made of sodium bicarbonate, not sulfur. Sulfur is not a component of baking soda.
Inasmuch as they are exactly the same thing, absolutely.
Baking soda is soluble in water. It can dissolve in water to form a solution.
make food rise...not bread, only food like muffins
Baking powder and salt.
They would not raise as much.
An excessive amount of baking soda would be double the amount called for in the recipe. This can impart a soda-ish taste to the muffins, cookies, whatever you are baking, but will not usually ruin them.
If you are using self rising flour, you do not need baking powder, soda or salt. You can safely omit these ingredients from the recipe.
Baking soda will cause things to rise also. Muffins are smaller so there is not as much need for lift. Baking powder will give more rise than soda. Whoever created the recipe chose to use soda instead of baking powder.
Muffins are a type of "quick bread," which uses baking powder or baking soda as leavening. Yeast requires an hour or more to raise dough or batter, and produces a different crumb than desired in (American) muffins.
it raises the temperature.
No. Baking soda is a levening. (makes muffins or pancakes rise) If it is used in a bean dish, it reduces the amount of gas produced in the digestive tract. It has no flavor and inhances nothing.

Baking soda and eating soda are not the same. Baking soda is an ingredient that is found in baking recipes.
I don't know about that, but baking soda dose.
