(a) When we eat we feel burning sensation in the stomach because of the formation of more acid. HCl is the acid that is formed in our stomach in response to quickly digesting the over eaten food. This is the main reason for feeling the burning sensation in the stomach

(b) CRYSTALS OF WASHING SODA CHANGE TO WHITE IN COLOUR ON EXPOSURE TO AIR. ... When sodium carbonate crystals are exposed to air They lose water of crystallization and turn to white powder. This process of loosing water of crystallization when exposed to air is called efflorescence.
