Answer:

I think it would be:

NaCO3 (s)-->Na2O (s) + CO2 (g)

The balanced chemical equation when Sodium carbonate heated to produces sodium oxide and carbon dioxide is as,

[tex]Na_{2} CO_{3} (s)[/tex] → [tex]Na_{2} O (s) + CO_{2} (g)[/tex]

The above reaction is thermal decomposition reaction.

What is thermal decomposition reaction?

  • The chemical decomposition caused by the heat is called thermal decomposition reaction.
  • It is also known as thermolysis.
  • Example: [tex]Na_{2} CO_{3} (s)[/tex] → [tex]Na_{2} O (s) + CO_{2} (g)[/tex]

What is decomposition reaction?

  • The reaction in which chemical species or reactant break down into  smaller part.
