The chemical reaction for the decomposition of sodium bicarbonate is
sodium hydrogen carbonate gives sodium carbonate plus water plus carbon dioxide.
2NaHCO3 = Na2CO3 + H2O + CO2
Remember that all the numbers except the initial 2 must be subscripts.

∙ 13y agoThere are two equations for this ampholytic ion of bicarbonate HCO3-,
being both acid and base at the same time:
* acid (pKa=10.25): HCO3- + H2O --> CO32- + H3O+
* base (pKb=7.64) : HCO3- + H2O --> H2CO3 + OH-
The sodium ions do nothing in water, they just stay hydrated in solution: Na+(aq)

∙ 15y agoWell, when you mix Sodium Bicarbonate and water you end up with a endothermic chemical reaction. It makes this white bubbly foam and turns cold. It's pretty cool.

Is sodium bicarbonate a product or a reactant?
It depends. If sodium bicarbonate is added to something in a chemical reaction, then it is a reactant in this case. If a chemical reaction forms sodium bicarbonate, then it is a product.
Baking soda chemical reaction?
sodium bicarbonate
2What is the formula for sodium bicarbonate?
I assume you mean you want the molecular formula for sodium bicarbonate - if you wanted a balanced equation, you would need another substance to react with But sodium bicarbonate = NaHCO3 While the above answer is help full I am going to assume that the question was what is the balanced equation for the decomposition of sodium bicarbonate. 2NaHCO3--> Na2CO3+CO2+H2O in further detail the reaction for this formula is not decomposition; it is, in fact, combustion because of the carbon dioxide and water in the products of the equation.
What type of chemical reaction is sodium bicarbonate and hydrochloric acid?
an acid base reaction
What is the gas and chemical reaction when aspirin is placed in sodium bicarbonate write chemical reaction?
The chemical reaction is:C9H8O4 + NaHCO3 = C9H7O4Na + H2O + CO2
What is the Equation for sodium bicarbonate thermal decomposition of?
NaHCO3 + H2O = H2CO3 +OH + Na Found this info here http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/Hbase/chemical/basecom.html
If sodium bicarbonate reacts with water what is the result chemically?
It does not react with water, but simply dissolves in it - a physical, not chemical, reaction.
What are the products from the decomposition of sodium bicarbonate?
sodium carbonate and carbon dioxide
Reaction of benzoic acid with sodium bicarbonate?
what is the reaction of benzoic acid with sodium bicarbonate
Is dissolving sodium bicarbonate in water a physical or chemical reaction?
Dissolution is considered a physical process.
Can a reaction be both a decomposition and double replacement?
Sort of. Sometimes a chemical reaction happens in two or more steps and can feature reactions of different types. One that includes both double replacement and decomposition reactions is that of a carbonate or bicarbonate with an acid such as vinegar and baking soda (acetic acid and sodium bicarbonate). In this reaction the acetic acid and sodium bicarbonate first undergo a double displacement reaction forming sodium acetate and carbonic acid. The carbonic acid, which is unstable, then decomposes into water and carbon dioxide. CH3CO2H + NaHCO3 --> NaCH3CO2 + H2CO3 followed by H2CO3 --> CO2 + H2O gives the overall reaction of CH3CO2H + NaHCO3--> NaCH3CO2 + CO2 + H2O
