No, but maybe the question was wrongly interpretable.
Better answering, according to this one:
Q.:
Sodium hydrogen carbonate reacts TO FORM sodium carbonate plus water plus carbon dioxide?
A.:
Yes, this will happen on (dry) heating or also in solution at higher temperatures!
2 NaHCO3 --> Na2CO3 + H2O + (CO2)gas

The reaction you've described involves the acid-base reaction between sodium hydrogen carbonate (baking soda) and sodium carbonate (washing soda) in the presence of water to produce carbon dioxide gas. In this reaction, the sodium hydrogen carbonate acts as the acid (releasing H+ ions) while the sodium carbonate acts as the base (accepting H+ ions). Water is also formed as a byproduct in this chemical reaction.
The reaction between hydrogen chloride and sodium carbonate produces sodium chloride, water, and carbon dioxide.
The word equation for sodium hydrogen carbonate when heated is: sodium hydrogen carbonate (sodium bicarbonate) → sodium carbonate + carbon dioxide + water.
When sodium carbonate is heated, it decomposes to form sodium oxide and carbon dioxide gas. On the other hand, heating sodium hydrogen carbonate causes it to decompose into sodium carbonate, water, and carbon dioxide gas.
Sulphuric acid (H2SO4) reacts with sodium hydrogen carbonate (NaHCO3) to form sodium sulphate (Na2SO4), carbon dioxide (CO2), and water (H2O). The word equation for this reaction is: sulphuric acid + sodium hydrogen carbonate → sodium sulphate + carbon dioxide + water.
When a solution of sodium hydrogen carbonate is heated, it will decompose to form sodium carbonate, water, and carbon dioxide gas. This decomposition reaction is characterized by effervescence due to the release of the carbon dioxide gas.
