Question

$$N{a_2}S{O_3}$$   and $$NaHC{O_3}$$   may be distinguished by treating their aqueous solution with :

A. $$MgO$$
B. $$MgS{O_4}$$  
C. $${\text{litmus solution}}{\text{.}}$$
D. $$dil.\,{\text{acid}}$$
Answer :   $$MgS{O_4}$$
Solution :
$$2MgS{O_4} + 2\,N{a_2}C{O_3} + {H_2}O \to $$       $$MgC{O_3}.Mg{\left( {OH} \right)_2} + 2N{a_2}S{O_4} + C{O_2}$$
$${\text{Basic magnesium carbonate}}$$
