Sodium bicarbonate undergoes thermal decomposition according to the reaction

2NaHCO3 (s) ⇋ Na2CO3 (s) + CO2 (g) + H2O (g).

It is an endothermic reaction. Which of the following will shift the equilibrium toward the products? Select all that apply.

(A) adding NaHCO3 (B) adding more CO2 (C) removing NaHCO3

(D) increasing the pressure by reducing the volume (E) decreasing the volume (F) adding a catalyst (G) adding more H2O (H) adding Na2CO3 (I) decreasing the temperature (J) removing some CO2 (K) removing Na2CO3 (L) increasing the volume (M) decreasing the pressure by increasing the volume (N) removing some H2O (O) increasing the temperature
