In short, using enough heat for a long enough period of time will change the structure of
sodium bicarbonate into sodium carbonate while releasing excess carbon dioxide and steam.Bonus points if you try this simple method and turn it into a science lesson for your kids at the same time!

Baking soda isn't that strong of a base, but it can be made quite a bit stronger by exposing it to heat (300F / 150C for an hour), which turns it (
sodium bicarbonate)
into sodium carbonate.
At temperatures above 176 degrees Fahrenheit (80 degrees Celsius),
sodium bicarbonate starts to break down
into three compounds, forming
sodium carbonate (Na2CO3), water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2).

into the final quarter of their games better on
sodium bicarbonate than a placebo.
A trial from 2014 found that basketball players maintained sprinting performance
into the final quarter of their games better on
sodium bicarbonate than a placebo.
The carbon dioxide will be converted
into products such as baking soda (
sodium bicarbonate) and hydrochloric acid, which can be used for hydraulic fracturing in oil and gas fields.
If
sodium bicarbonate is put
into water at ca 20 deg C, the initial pH is about 8.
