Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate, or it can also be referred to as bicarbonate of soda and saleratus. When heated, it easily loses carbon dioxide and the carbon dioxide makes bubbles and this creates channels, which is what gives baked goods a fluffy and light texture.

When you heat baking soda (NaHCO3) it outgasses both water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2).

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.
