What will happen if a solution of sodium hydrogencarbonate is heated? Give the equation of the reaction involved.
(N/A) When a solution of sodium hydrogencarbonate $(NaHCO_3)$ is heated,it undergoes thermal decomposition to form sodium carbonate $(Na_2CO_3)$,water $(H_2O)$,and carbon dioxide $(CO_2)$ gas.
The chemical equation for this reaction is:
$2NaHCO_3(s) \xrightarrow{\Delta} Na_2CO_3(s) + H_2O(l) + CO_2(g) \uparrow$
The chemical equation for this reaction is:
