Err... no it doesn't.
Baking soda is NaHCO3 there is no Cl in that molecule.
When you mix NaHCO3 with 2(H20) and applied to the electrolysis process you get CO2 + NaOH + 2(H2) + O2 or Carbon Dioxide and Sodium Hydroxide along with HHO. The CO2 and HHO leave the chamber together; the NaOH recombines with the water.
So, no it doesn't make Chlorine gas, it makes Carbon Dioxide.
Table salt however, 2(NaCl)+2(H20) yeilds Cl2+H2+2(NaOH)... Chlorine gas.
