How hydrochloric acid affect non-reducing sugar?
A non-reducing sugar can be hydrolyzed using dilute hydrochloric acid. After hydrolysis and neutralization of the acid, the product is a reducing sugar. So acidic hydrolysis can convert the non-reducing sugars (disaccharides and polysaccharides) into reducing simple sugars.
Is sodium bicarbonate a simple sugar?

How do you test for starch or carbohydrate?
take 3cm cubed of the carbohydrate and put in a test tube with 5cm cubed of benedict's reagent. If the carbohydrate is a reducing sugar the solution would turn red. If it contains a non- reducing sugar the solution would remain blue. Then take the non-reducing sugar boil it with dilute hydrochloric acid, cool it and neutralise it with sodium hydrogencarbonate and retest with benedict's reagent if the soultion turns red it means the non- reducing sugar has been hydrolysed to its monomers.If it remains blue there is no reducing sugar present. take 3cm cubed of the carbohydrate and put in a test tube with 5cm cubed of benedict's reagent.

Is the element potassium the same as potassium carbonate?
No, potassium carbonate (K2CO3) is a substance often referred to as potash (though the term"potash" refer to other substances). It is a potassium compound. Bicarbonate of soda or baking soda is sodium bicarbonate or sodium hydrogen carbonate (NaHCO3). It is a sodium compound. Baking power is a mixture that contains sodium bicarbonate.

a reducung sugar since it has an aldehyde group
What are the active ingredients in seltzer water?
Aspirin and sodium bicarbonate are the ingredients in Alka Seltzer. Two tablets are the equivalent of two regular aspirin and baking soda, which is an acid reducer in itself. But the sodium bicarbonate in alka seltzer is heat treated.
