    If the reaction is going from left to right it would be synthesis, if going right to left it would be decomposition.

    Explanation:

    Na2O (s) + 2CO2 (g) + H2O (g) = 2 NaHCO3 (s)

    Left Side

    Na = 2

    O = 6

    C = 2

    H = 2

    Right Side

    Na = 2

    O = 6

    C = 2

    H = 2

    Ok so is balanced already, though initial equation in question had an error in regards to the left hand side the) should have been an O.

    Hmm

    Na2O (s) + 2CO2 (g) + H2O (g) = 2 NaHCO3 (s)

    If it was going from right to left would be decomposition

    But going from left to right it would be synthesis
