  1. What is the product formed when sodium bicarbonate is heated strongly?
    1. Sodium Carbonate
    2. Sodium Hydroxide
    3. Sodium Peroxide
    4. Sodium Monoxide
Correct Option: A

When sodium bicarbonate is strongly heated, it decomposes into sodium carbonate, water vapor, and carbon dioxide. Solid sodium carbonate is a white powder and is used in cooking under the name ‘baking powder’; sodium bicarbonate is used in baking under the name ‘baking soda’.
