By Sodium hydrogencarbonate, I understand you mean Na HCO3, Sodium Bicarbonate. This is also known as baking soda. No, it is not an acid. Actually, it is used as an antacid (this can also be called an anti-acid, or even a base), and will raise pH.
Yes
NaHCO3 + HCl --> NaCl + H2O + CO2
NaHCO3 + CH3 COOH ---> CH3 COO NA + H2O + CO2
This equation is NaHCO3 + HNO3 => NaNO3 + H2O + CO2 (g).
Because the by product formed is an escapable gas which is CO2..
Yes
Sodium hydrogencarbonate and citric acid react.
NaHCO3 + HCl --> NaCl + H2O + CO2
NaHCO3 + CH3 COOH ---> CH3 COO NA + H2O + CO2
This equation is NaHCO3 + HNO3 => NaNO3 + H2O + CO2 (g).
Sodium bicarbonate gives hydrogencarbonate ions which can produce carbondioxide and water with protons. It acts as a weak base.
Because the by product formed is an escapable gas which is CO2..
Sodium bicarbonate (or sodium hydrogencarbonate)
There are many chemicals present in Soda and the two main ingredients are sugar and mineral water. The other lesser known chemicals are carbon dioxide, caffeine, phosphoric acid and sodium benzoate.
H3Citr + 3 NaHCO3 --> Na3Citr + 3 CO2 + 3 H2O (Citric acid is symbolised by H3Citr, just for simplification) (Na3Citr is symbol for tri-sodium citrate)

No - it decreases
