Answer 1

Answer:

add vinegar to both the one that fizzes is baking soda the one that doesn't is common salt

Explanation:

baking soda is a basic compound whereas vinegar is a acid, so when the you add vinegar it reacts while common salt does not as it isn't a base

BTW which class is it of?

Answer 2

Yes I can identified them with the help of lemon juice.

• Baking soda is a base. When lemon juice which is an acid added to baking soda a acid base reaction occurs. Small bubbles come in the mixture and thus baking soda can be identified.
• Common salt is a salt which does not react with lemon juice it only dissolves in lemon juice.
