Baking powder contains sodium bicarbonate but it also contains other acids. Is there a way I can remove the other acids and only keep the sodium bicarbonate?

Probably not easily.  However, with a list of ingredients, that you can find online or on the back of the tin.  You can build a table, and evaluate the properties, and see if you can figure out some tricks.  Its a good way to learn.
Hey, I'm not judging.  I just like to shoot straight.  I'm a man of science.
