It's some baking POWDER that contains an aluminum compound, NOT SODA. Check the labels - no reason to ask a chemist. Chemists don't bake, at least from a chemist viewpoint. I do.
Baking soda is a mineral compound (basically) Powder is a compound that contains an acid, which makes it rise. Soda is base, and requires acid to produce the gas required to rise. You usally use a soured/fermented milk or straight acid with soda, nothing else is required with powder.
