US =Baking Soda.
UK=either Bicarbonate of Soda or Sodum Bicarbonate, (just to keep you guessing)
We also have Baking Powder, which is a mix of acid & alkali, genarally Bicarb. & Tartaric Acid, also known as Cream of Tartar.
(who names this stuff & why so many variables?)

There are different kinds of bicarbonate.
Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate (baking "soda").
Hope this helps!

Baking soda is a blend of bicarb and ascorbic acid (vit C)
when wet it releases C02 and acts as a rising agent.

No difference, it's a country thing.
Bicarbonate of soda = UK
Baking soda = US

The main difference is in the letters used on the packet/drum label - it's all the same inside ! ! !

Put your search engine to use and read up on it, so you'll know what differences there may be and if there are more than one type of either.
