Isn't it just 2 Na?
Took chem last year, did pretty good, but don't remember much, so if I'm totally wrong, consider this a bump:D

EDIT: Can't type...

Man, flashback to 4 years ago. Good thing my AP got me out of college chem completely. I remember my chem teacher made us do weekly quizzes on this stuff (reactions).

Anyway, what SWirth86 said looks right to me.

can you make anything with 2 NA 3 0's and a C? 2NaO doesn't work, It would have to be Na2O but that leaves 2 o and 1 C. What about just leaving them as dissolved ions?

Na2CO3 also balances the equation...but if u keep adding heat, Na2CO3 also decomposes into Na2O and CO2....

So I'm not sure which answer is the one ur looking for...

2 NaHCO3 <------> Na2CO3 + H2O + CO2 is correct. It's the opposite of a twofer.
