To accurately assess the tests and their implications for sodium bicarbonate, it's critical to understand the distinction between chemical and physical properties.

- **Physical properties** are characteristics that can be observed without changing the substance's chemical identity, such as melting point, boiling point, density, and solubility.
- **Chemical properties** are those that can only be observed during a chemical reaction, indicating how a substance reacts with other substances.

Given this context, the statement that best reflects the assessments of the tests would depend on what each test is measuring.

Without specific information about what Tests 1, 2, and 3 entail, it’s difficult to definitively choose the correct statement. However, if you can provide details on what each test involves, I can help determine which statement is the best assessment of the tests in relation to sodium bicarbonate's properties.
