We cannot entertain more than 5 questions in a subject per day. In case of multiple questions within a query, please post each question individually and let us know where you are getting stuck so that we would be able to explain things better.
Solution for your first query:
Baking powder is a mixture of baking soda or sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) with any kitchen acid such as vinegar (dilute acetic acid).
Baking powder : NaHCO3 + H+
On acid base reaction, baking soda releases CO2 as follows:
NaHCO3 + H+ → Na+ + CO2 + H2O
