    (1) "Baking powder is a dry chemical leavening agent, a mixture of a carbonate or bicarbonate and a weak acid, and is used for increasing the volume and lightening the texture of baked goods" per Wikipedia.

    (2) NaHCO3, aka sodium bicarbonate, aka baking soda. 

    They are almost identical.

    Don't worry.
