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.

I think this will help you.
