Answer:
When hydrochloric acid reacts with sodium carbonate it produces sodium chloride and carbon dioxide with brisk effervescence.
Na2CO3 +2HCl →2NaCl + H2O + CO2
But when hydrochloric acid reacts with sodium sulphite, it forms sodium chloride and sulphur dioxide which gives smell of burning sulphur.
Na2SO3 + 2HCl → 2NaCl + H2O + SO2
