Marco wants to investigate the chemical properties of sodium bicarbonate, or baking soda. He plans to carry out the tests below.Test 1: Mix a teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate into a cup of warm water to see if it dissolves.Test 2: Mix a teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate into a cup of vinegar to see if it fizzes.Test 3: Heat a teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate in the oven to see if its melting point is less than 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

A
Only Test 3 will indicate a chemical property of sodium bicarbonate. Tests 1 and 2 will show a physical property of the substance.
B
Only tests 1 and 2 will indicate chemical properties of sodium bicarbonate. Test 3 will show a physical property of the substance.
C
Only Test 2 will indicate a chemical property of sodium bicarbonate. Tests 1 and 3 will show a physical property of the substance.
D
Only tests 1 and 3 will indicate chemical properties of sodium bicarbonate. Test 2 will show a physical property of the substance.
