The first five answers are wrong. Don't believe them.
Since they have the same cation Na+,
OH- and HCO3- anions will react to form H2CO3.
Giving us a mixture of NaOH and H2CO3 only

Simple, because both are ionic compounds and have the same Na radical, hence there is no possibility of a reaction to occur under normal conditions since interchangeability is affected

OH-, strong acid reacts with HCO3-, weak acid to give CO2 and H2O.

they'll both dissolve in water, but won't do much. the bicarb will bubble and you get an acid/base reaction on your hands.

bcos it is not compatible to mix NaOH and naHCO3
