The above equation describes the chemical reaction process between sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to produce sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) and water (H2O).
- Reaction conditions
The conditions for the reaction to occur are sufficient temperature and pressure. Specifically, this reaction takes place at high temperatures (around 50 to 70 degrees Celsius).
- Reaction process
When sodium bicarbonate and sodium hydroxide come into contact with each other under suitable temperature and pressure conditions, they will react with each other to form sodium carbonate and water.
- Occurring phenomena
During the reaction process, no clear phenomenon is recorded (such as bubbling, color change, luminescence or heat emission…). However, if carried out under laboratory conditions, one can see the solid matter (sodium bicarbonate and sodium hydroxide) gradually melt and disappear, while the solution (sodium carbonate and water) is formed.
