Some dry chemicals can be used to put out forest fires. One of these chemicals is NaHCO3. When NaHCO3(s) is heated, one of the products is CO₂(g), as shown in the unbalanced equation below. NaHCO3(s) + heat → Na₂CO3(s) + H₂O(g) + CO₂(g) A. Balance the above equation using smallest whole number coefficients. B. Identify the type of chemical reaction represented by the above equation. C. Draw a potential energy diagram to show that the above reaction is endothermic.
