Heating aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution
« on: April 25, 2014, 02:15:30 AM »
Can anyone tell me what would happen when heating a sodium bicarbonate solution (sodium bicarbonate + water) pls.

NaHCO3 + H2O ---> NaOH + H2CO3 ---> NaOH + H2O + CO2

Or

2NaHCO3 + H2O ---> Na2CO3+ 2H2O + CO2

You have to show your attempts at solving the question to receive help. This is a forum policy.

First things first - what would happen to any solution when heated up? Hint: tap water is a solution.
