Grease is nonpolar. It is made up of lengthy hydrocarbon chains attached to glycerol (triacylglycerols). Because of this property, nonpolar solvents, such as tetrachloroethylene, can get grease out of clothes. This solvent acts by dissolving the grease, thereby removing it from clothes without leaving any residue.

Answer:
Sodium Bicarbonate on decomposition produces Carbon dioxide gas and Water vapors.

 2 NaHCO₂ → Na₂CO₃ (s) + CO₂ (g) + H₂O (g)

Explanation:
Let suppose you burn 168 g ( 2 moles ) of NaHCO₃, a gas will produced and product is left behind. On measuring the product formed it will be almost equal to 105 g. This shows that the product is Na₂CO₃ and 1 mole of it is being produced after decomposition of sodium bicarbonate.
