Question 4
What will happen if the solution of sodium hydrogen carbonate is heated? Give the equation of the reaction involved.

Answer 1

When sodium hydrogen carbonate is heated, sodium carbonate and water are formed along with the evolution of carbon dioxide gas. The reaction involved is:

$2{\text{NaHCO}}_3\text{(s)}\stackrel{\text{Heat}}{\to }{\text{Na}}_2{\text{CO}}_3\text{(s)}+{\text{H}}_2\text{O(l)}+{\text{CO}}_2(\uparrow )$
