It partially decomposes to Na2CO3, CO2 and H2O according to:
2NaHCO3 --> Na2CO3 + CO2 + H2O
As the water in the test tube absorbs heat, its temperature increases, causing it to expand. This expansion can create a pressure difference that may cause the water in the small tube to either rise or flow, depending on the setup. If the small tube is connected to the test tube, the heated water may push some of the water in the small tube upward, demonstrating the effect of thermal expansion.
If only oxygen is in the test tube, it may burst into flame.
A test-tube holder, also known as test-tube clamp or test-tube rack, is used to hold a test tube over a Bunsen burner during heating. It is designed to ensure safe handling and prevent accidents while working with test tubes and heat sources.
- the test tube may break- the liquid can be spread outside
To avoid dangerous tension in the glass.
heat the test tube in inclined position..alcohol is a hydrocarbon
we use test tube to hold chemicals and heat and chemicals.
the proper way to heat a liquid in a test tube is by putting it in open flame.

When heating a test tube over a Bunsen burner, you typically use heat-resistant gloves to handle the test tube, a test tube holder to hold the test tube, and a Bunsen burner for heating. It's also important to have a heat-resistant mat or pad to place the test tube on while heating.
It depends on what is inside the test tube. If the test tube is empty nothing will happen, if there is petrol in the test tube the petrol will ignite.
Heat is transferred by three methods; Convection, conduction or radiation. If the test tube is touching anything (such as the stand or a table) then heat can be lost through conduction; the hot test tube transfers heat to the stand. You can reduce this heat loss by using a material such as wood that does not conduct heat well. The air around the test tube will be heated, and the hot air rises away, allowing cold air to flow around the test tube. The new cold air becomes heated, and rises away and.... This is called convection. Even in a vacuum, the heat of the test tube will be lost through radiation, as the heat of the test tube is transferred to nearby objects. If you put your hand near the test tube, you can feel the heat even without touching it. This is how the heat from the Sun reaches the Earth, even though we're not touching the sun and the 93 million miles of space between us and it is a pretty good vacuum.

IN Physics wards:Why do we heat test tube in a water bath and not directly over a flame?
Hold the test tube at an angle, pointing away from yourself and others, using test tube holders or tongs to protect your hands from heat. Rotate the test tube gently to ensure even heating and avoid boiling or splattering of the liquid. Never heat a closed test tube as pressure can build up and cause it to explode.
The burning splint is extinguished by the carbon dioxide given off from the calcium carbonate. CaCO3 --heat--> CaO + CO2 ==================================================
If only oxygen is in the test tube, it may burst into flame.
