Sodium sulphite is the sodium salt of sulphurous acid having molecular formula Na2SO3, can be made by dissolving NaOH in H2SO3. In Sodium sulphite, oxidation state of Sulphur is +4.
or
Sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) will effervesce when a dilute acid is added and a colourless, odourless gas (carbon dioxide) will be given off which, if bubbled through lime-water, will turn it cloudy.
Sodium sulphite (Na2SO3) will effervesce when a dilute acid is added giving off a colourless gas with a choking smell (sulphur dioxide), which, if bubbled through acidified dichromate solution will turn it green.

Dear friend,
Sodium sulphate ( Na2SO4 ), the sulphate of soda, is an inorganic compound related with several hydrates. These all are white solids which are highly soluble in water. It is mainly used in making detergents and in kraft process of paper pulping industry.
Sodium sulphite ( Na2SO3 ) is a soluble sodium salt of the sulphurous acid (Sulphite). It is a part of Sulphur dioxide scrubbing. It is used a preservative agent to prevent foods from discoloration, preservation for longer use and is also used for reducing high concentration of chlorine levels in pools.
Hope it helps !!!
