Sodium carbonate (NaCO3) is a weak base and sodium chlorite (NaCl3O) is a good oxidizing agent. Many foul odors contain thiol (-SH) groups. Sodium clorite oxidizes the thiols to thioethers (-S-S-), which have no (or little) odor. The reaction occurs more readily at high pH (hence the addition of base).
Sodium carbonate is added to sodium chlorite in air fresheners to neutralize the acidic nature of sodium chlorite, making it more stable and safer for use in the air freshener. This reaction also helps to release chlorine dioxide gas, which is responsible for eliminating odors and bacteria in the air.
Sodium carbonate and and sodium hydrogen carbonate form a buffer solution.

Take water in a beaker. Add sodium carbonate to it and stir till sodium carbonate dissolves. However for scientific or any practical purpose, take a fixed weight of sodium carbonate and dissolve in a definite volume of water and calculate the concentration in terms of molarity or weight per volume etc.
To test presence of Sodium ions, do a flame test: color observed: golden yellow. To test presence of carbonate or hydrogen carbonate ions: Take some of the sodium hydrogen carbonate in a dry test tube. Heat the test tube and bubble the gas through limewater. Limewater turns milky. Carbonate or hydrogen carbonate ions present. To distinguish between carbonate and hydrogen carbonate: Add indicator solution. If colour of solution turns green, pH is 7-8, hydrogen carbonate ions are present. If colour of solution turns blue, pH is 12-13, carbonate ions are present. -Iberuz
When citric acid is added to sodium carbonate, a chemical reaction occurs that produces carbon dioxide gas, water, and sodium citrate. This reaction is exothermic, meaning it releases energy in the form of heat, so the temperature of the solution may increase.
sodium carbonate + copper sulfate ===> copper carbonate (s) + sodium sulfateNa2CO3(aq) + CuSO4(aq) ===> CuCO3(s) + Na2SO4(aq)

Sodium carbonate can react with acidic components in the unknown substance to form carbon dioxide gas, which may result in fizzing or effervescence. This reaction can help identify the presence of acidic compounds in the unknown substance.

If you add calcium carbonate to 100g of water at 25oC, only 0.0014g of it will dissolve. Additional calcium carbonate will not dissolve.
put the mixture in water and add hydrochloric acid the carbonate becomes decomposed when no further bubbles appear by adding hydrochloric acid then heat the mixture till dryness and get the solid sodium chloride.
Add a few drops of a strong acid such as hydrochloric acid to sample of the substance. If it is sodium carbonate then it will bubble carbon dioxide: Na2CO3 + HCl -> NaCl + CO2 (unbalanced) In the other case, it won't.

to make the solution basic enough so that NH be prepared for Fmoc protection
This will react with any unreacted acid and allow the scent of the ester to be more obvious
