Answer 2

Answer:

sodium hydrogen carbonate

Explanation:

i) name of the compound is sodium hydrogen carbonate

ii)Thermal decomposition

At temperatures from 80-100 °C (176-212 °F), sodium bicarbonate gradually decomposes into sodium carbonate, water, and carbon dioxide. The conversion is faster at 200 °C (392 °F): 2 NaHCO3 → Na2CO3 + H2O + CO.

iii)Sodium bicarbonate , also known as baking soda, is used to relieve heartburn, sour stomach, or acid indigestion by neutralizing excess stomach acid. When used for this purpose, it is said to belong to the group of medicines called antacids. It may be used to treat the symptoms of stomach or duodenal ulcers.
