  • Decomposition of Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate: Word Equation & Explanation
    The word equation for the decomposition of sodium hydrogen carbonate (baking soda) when heated is:

    Sodium hydrogen carbonate → Sodium carbonate + Carbon dioxide + Water

    Here's a more detailed breakdown:

    * Sodium hydrogen carbonate (NaHCO₃) is the reactant, the substance being heated.

    * Sodium carbonate (Na₂CO₃) is one of the products, a white solid.

    * Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is another product, a colorless gas.

    * Water (H₂O) is the final product, which can be seen as steam.

    This reaction is also known as the thermal decomposition of sodium hydrogen carbonate.
