Correct Answer: Sodium carbonate


Solution : The correct option is Sodium carbonate .

When sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) is heated to high temperatures, it undergoes a chemical reaction and decomposes into three separate compounds: sodium carbonate (soda ash), water, and, carbon dioxide gas. This reaction's chemical equation is 2NaHCO 3 → Na 2 CO 3 + H 2 O + CO 2 . Sodium bicarbonate is broken down into sodium carbonate, water, and carbon dioxide in this process.
