Does baking soda stay dissolved?

Baking soda dissolves readily in water. If water is evaporated from a solution of baking soda, the baking soda is recovered unchanged; thus, solubility is a physical property. The decomposition of baking soda on heating is a chemical property.

What happens when baking soda is mixed with water?

Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate, NaHCO3. In water, the bicarbonate ion does undergo partial hydrolysis to liberate some amount of hydroxyl (OH-) ions as per the following equilibrium: But when the solution is allowed to evaporate under normal temperature and pressure, the bicarbonate salt is retrieved easily.
