Baking powder is an alkali
Actually baking powder is a blend of both acid and alkali. It generally contains acids such as calcium acid phosphate, sodium aluminum sulfate or cream of tartar and the alkali sodium bicarbonate also known as baking soda. It's due to this blend that, after coming into contact with a liquid it is able to create carbon dioxide bubbles which are used as for leavening in baking.
