Well, it could make a gas with the appropriate reagent, i.e. an acid.

Explanation:

And a suitable acid would be hydrochloric acid...

$H C l (a q) + N a H C O_{3} (s) \to N a C l (a q) + H_{2} O (l) + C O_{2} (g) ↑ ⏐$ $HCl(aq) + NaHCO_3(s) rarr NaCl(aq) + H_2O(l) + CO_2(g)uarr$

And sodium bicarbonate would even react with vinegar...a reaction that has been known since biblical times...

$As vinegar upon nitre, so is he that singeth songs to a very$ $"As vinegar upon nitre, so is he that singeth songs to a very"$ $evil heart.$ $"evil heart."$ $Proverbs 25:20$ $"Proverbs 25:20"$ (and I think the author of Proverbs has confused potassium nitrate with sodium bicaronate).
