What are the products from the decomposition of sodium bicarbonate?
sodium carbonate and carbon dioxide
Why does baking soda break down when heated?
Bakinf Soda is sodium hydrogen carbonate or sodium bi-carbonate. (NaHCO3) All carbonates under go thermal decomposition.
Is sodium carbonate the same as sodium bicarbonate?
No. Sodium carbonate is Na2CO3. Sodium bicarbonate is NaHCO3. Sodium carbonate is a stronger base.
What is the bi in bicarbonate?
It is actually Hydrogen. Sodium Bicarbonate is properly known as Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate, and sometimes Sodium Acid Carbonate (Hydrogen makes it an acid)CompareNaHCO3 (sodium bicarbonate)Na2CO3 (sodium carbonate)Since sodium carbonate takes two sodium ions for each carbonate, and bicarbonate has only one, ratio of carbonate ions to sodium ion doubles, hence the term bicarbonate.
Is sodium bicarbonate the same as sodium carbonate?
No Sodium carbonate is Na2CO3 while sodium bicarbonate is NaHCO3 Sodium carbonate is a stronger base.
What are the products from the decomposition of sodium bicarbonate?
sodium carbonate and carbon dioxide
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
What does alkalinty mean?
You mean alkalinity? Alkalinity measures the ability of a solution to neutralize acids to the equivalence point of carbonate or bicarbonate. The alkalinity is equal to the stoichiometric sum of the bases in solution.

Bakinf Soda is sodium hydrogen carbonate or sodium bi-carbonate. (NaHCO3) All carbonates under go thermal decomposition.
What is the pH range for carbonate bicarbonate buffer?
The pH range for carbonate-bicarbonate buffer is 9,2.
Is sodium carbonate the same as sodium bicarbonate?
No. Sodium carbonate is Na2CO3. Sodium bicarbonate is NaHCO3. Sodium carbonate is a stronger base.

Is sodium bicarbonate the same as sodium carbonate?
No Sodium carbonate is Na2CO3 while sodium bicarbonate is NaHCO3 Sodium carbonate is a stronger base.
Does carbonate and bicarbonate both have hydrogen?
NO, only the Bicarbonate contains Hydrogen (H.) A Carbonate is represented as (CO3)^-2, whereas A Bicarbonate is (HCO3)^-1
What is the difference between the masses of sodium bicarbonate and calcium carbonate?
Sodium bicarbonate is NaHCO3, Calcium carbonate is CaCO3.
What are the pH's of sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate?
Sodium carbonate has a pH of about 11, and sodium bicarbonate has a pH of 8.
Is CO2 a carbonate?
No. A carbonate is a substance that contains either the carbonate ion or the bicarbonate ion.
