Answer:
Sodium hydrogen carbonate (also known as sodium bicarbonate or bicarbonate of soda) has the chemical formula NaHCO3. When it is heated above about 80°C it begins to break down, forming sodium carbonate, water and carbon dioxide. This type of reaction is called a thermal decomposition.

Answer:
if the solution of sodium hydrogen carbonate also known as baking soda is heated, then it decomposes to give sodium carbonate, water and CO2 gas.
equation :
NaHCO3 ——> Na2CO3 + H2O + CO2
this type of reaction is known as decomposition reaction...
here, the decomposition is carried by supplying heat energy hence it will be thermal decomposition or thermolysis....
hope it will help you..
