At low temperatures it simply (mostly) recombines into Sodium Bicarbonate (although a little is lost that's why it loses potency over time) water simply gives the by product something else to react with, so no water dose not cause sodium bicarbonate to breakdown it just makes the breakdown more permanent. | |
