nothing happens..........
When dilute sulfuric acid (H2SO4) is added to sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) in a test tube, a chemical reaction occurs where carbon dioxide gas (CO2) is produced. This gas can be observed as bubbles forming in the test tube. Additionally, sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) and water (H2O) are also formed as products of the reaction.
Na2CO3 is added to Benedict's test to adjust the pH of the solution. This pH adjustment helps to ensure that the reaction between reducing sugars and the Benedict's reagent occurs optimally, leading to the formation of a colored product that indicates the presence of reducing sugars.
Na2CO3 is added to the solution before the Benedict's test to create an alkaline environment, which helps to stabilize the blue copper (II) ions in the Benedict's reagent. This stabilization is important for the detection of reducing sugars, as the copper (II) ions must be reduced to form a red precipitate in the presence of reducing sugars.
You would observe effervescence (bubbling) due to the release of carbon dioxide gas. The reaction produces sodium chloride, water, and carbon dioxide.
When zinc is added to dilute sulfuric acid in a test tube, a chemical reaction occurs where zinc reacts with sulfuric acid to form zinc sulfate and hydrogen gas. This reaction is a redox reaction where zinc is oxidized to zinc ions, while hydrogen ions in the sulfuric acid are reduced to form hydrogen gas. The production of hydrogen gas can be observed as bubbles forming in the test tube.

Na2CO3 extract is not used for carbonate test because it is a carbonate compound itself (sodium carbonate). Using it in the test would not provide a valid result, as it would already contain carbonate ions. To test for carbonate ions, a substance that does not already contain carbonate, such as hydrochloric acid, is used.

Because there's a chemical reaction going on.

It partially decomposes to Na2CO3, CO2 and H2O according to: 2NaHCO3 --> Na2CO3 + CO2 + H2O

Drinking water will not dilute an EtG test for alcohol consumption, as EtG is detectable even with high water intake. It is best to abstain from alcohol for a few days before the test to ensure accurate results.
Dilute HCl is added to precipitate the sulfate ions as barium sulfate. This helps in creating a white precipitate that is easy to detect and separate from the rest of the solution, enabling accurate determination of sulfate ions present in the sample.
1. Add 5 cm3 dilute sodium hydroxide (caustic!) to a 1% solution of albumen (the white part of an egg)2. Then add 1% copper sulphate solution3. A purple colour appears and this indicates that protein is present.
