First off Calcium bicarbonate cannot be heated as a solid as it only exists in solution.
If you heat the solution and evaporate it to dryness the resulting solid would be calcium carbonate.
If you do this with sodium bicarbonate, the heat will drive off the bicarbonate CO2 resulting in sodium carbonate.
