When you pour molten salt(NaCl) into the water, it explodes. But if you pour molten sodium bicarbonate into the water, there's no explosion. Why is this happening???
I'm so confused and I have seen a video of this actually happening. Please help!

I'd like to know how you make molten NaHCO3. It decomposes. Also, I'm not sure I'd believe anything like this unless it was done before my eyes in living color.
@DrBob222: It's sodium carbonate. And the backyard scientist on Youtube has a video on pouring molten salt into a fish tank, which you can watch "before your eyes in living color".
