Answer 1

Q) Identify the compound X and write its chemical formula

A) The name of the Compound 'X' is Sodium Bicarbonate/Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate.

It's Chemical Formula is: NaHCO₃

Q) What chemical reaction occurs on heating it during the cooking of food?

​$\sf A) \ 2NaHCO_{3} \xrightarrow{ \ \ \sf Heat \ \ } Na_{2}CO_{3} + H_{2}O + CO_{2}$

When Sodium hydrogen carbonate is heated, it decomposes to form Sodium carbonate and water, along with the evolution of carbon dioxide gas.

Here;

NaHCO₃ → Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate.

Na₂CO₃ → Sodium Carbonate.

H₂O → Hydrogen.

CO₂ → Carbon Dioxide.
