and why?
NaHCO3+HCI(aq)⇢CO2(g)+NaCl(aq)+H2O
Well, in order for it to be a combustion reaction, NaHCO3 must react with oxygen and produce carbon dioxide and water.
But it isn't a decomposition reaction either because NaHCO3 doesn't break up.
It looks more like a single replacement, and then a decomposition of H2CO3, in other words..
NaHCO3+HCI(aq) ⇢ NaCl(aq) + H2CO3(aq) ⇢ CO2(g) +NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)
Hope this help (:
