Question

What will happen if a solution of sodium hydrogencarbonate is heated? Give the equation of the reaction involved.

Answer 1

when sodium bicarbonate or sodium hydrogen carbonate is heated it breaks into sodium carbonate,water carbon dioxide.



2NaHCO3(when heated up) = Na2CO3+H2O+CO2.



this is used to form washing soda(Na2CO3•10H2O) from baking soda or sodium bicarbonate

Answer 2

Answer:

When sodium bicarbonate or sodium hydrogen carbonate is heated it breaks into sodium carbonate,water, carbon dioxide.

2NaHCO3(when heated up) = Na2CO3+H2O+CO2.

This is used to form washing soda(Na2CO3•10H2O) from baking soda or sodium bicarbonate
