Question

Complete the reaction
NaHco heating​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Answer: When Sodium bicarbonate is strongly heated it decomposes to carbon dioxide, water vapour and sodium carbonate.

The reaction is:-

2 NaHCO3(s) → Na2CO3(s) + CO2(g) + H2O(g) ↪Carbon dioxide production from exposure of sodium bicarbonate to heat starts at temperature above 80°C .

Answer 2

When Sodium bicarbonate is strongly heated it decomposes to carbon dioxide, water vapour and sodium carbonate.

The reaction is:-

2 NaHCO3(s) → Na2CO3(s) + CO2(g) + H2O(g)

↪Carbon dioxide production from exposure of sodium bicarbonate to heat starts at temperature above 80°C .

↪Thermal decomposition of sodium bicarbonate produces sodium carbonate, which is strongly alkaline.

↪Here the solid sodium carbonate is a white powder, which is used as "baking powder ".

Whereas sodium bicarbonate is used as "baking soda ".
