2NaHCO3 ---> Na2CO3 + H2O + Co2
if this isn't right, then i have failed my exams
The ph of the water is increased and the water becomes more alkaline. Water molecules break sodium hydrogen carbonate molecules to ions.
Bakinf Soda is sodium hydrogen carbonate or sodium bi-carbonate. (NaHCO3) All carbonates under go thermal decomposition.
As Sodium is high in reactivity series, it makes strong bonds with carbonate ions. To break up this strong bond, high heat is required which is not provided by normal heating.
Sodium carbonate will react with acid to produce carbon dioxide, water, and the corresponding sodium salt of that acid in a two step reaction. We will use hydrochloric acid for this example. Sodium carbonate and hydrochloric acid combine to form sodium chloride and carbonic acid. Na2CO3 + 2HCl --> H2CO3 + 2NaCl Carbonic acid is unstable and will readil break down into carbon dioxide and water. H2CO3 --> CO2 + H2O
Sodium carbonate does decompose when heated, it undergoes thermal decomposition to form sodium oxide (Na2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), and water (H2O). However, the decomposition of sodium carbonate is not easily noticeable when using a Bunsen burner as the high temperature and rapid combustion of the gas can mask the decomposition reaction.

A carbonate not decomposed by heat is sodium bicarbonate. The bonds of sodium bicarbonate is so strong that too much energy is required to break them down.

because its a single, stable element. its not like copper carbonate, which is a compound of more that one element; here these elements can break apart

Yes. While they are very similar compounds, potassium carbonate contains potassium while sodium carbonate contains sodium. Their formulas are K2CO3 and Na2CO3 respective. Sodium and potassium are separate, albeit similar elements.
This is an EXOTHERMIC reaction. If you hold the reaction vessel it will feel warm. For all reactions there is an energy change. In this case when the sodium ions and the hydrogen ions associate with water molecules, there is a 'bond' forming. Bond forming releases energy, hence the heat/warmth. Conversely, when you want to break a bond e.g. calcium carbonate to form calcium oxide and carbon dioxide, you heat the calcium carbonate, you a driving in heat to break the bonds. It is Endothermic.
2H2O2(l) --> 2H2O(l) + O2(g)
It acts as a catalyst for releasing enzymes from the pancreatin so it can break down carbs, lipids, or protein (mainly starch, though).
Ionic bonds are far stronger than hydrogen bonds. Ice is held together by hydrogen bonds, and table salt, which is sodium chloride (NaCl), is held together by ionic bonds. You can hammer on ice and break the hydrogen bonds holding it together with relative ease. But you can hammer all day on salt, turn it to a white powder, and not break the sodium-chlorine bonds (those ionic bonds) in any molecules of salt by doing so.
