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

Academic Chemistry NCERT Class 10

When a solution of sodium hydrogen carbonate is heated, it decomposes to give sodium carbonate and carbon dioxide gas is evolved.

The reaction is written as:

$2NaHCO_3 → Na_2CO_3 + CO_2 + H_2O$
