Thermal Decomposition of Baking Soda
A thermal decomposition reaction occurs when heat is applied to a compound causing it to decompose (break down) into multiple different chemical substances. An example is when baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is heated 2 N a H C O 3 ( s ) → C O 2 ( g ) + H 2 O ( g ) + N a 2 C O 3 ( s ) Here is a video discussion of this reaction...
