Solution

The correct option is A Salt A, which is sodium bicarbonate; Salt B is sodium carbonate; C is CO2 gas
Baking power which is a salt is used as bakery products which give sodium carbonate and carbon dioxide gas on heating. Sodium carbonate is used to remove the hardness of water. Carbon dioxide turns lime water milky.
NaHCO3 (Sodium bicarbonate) Na2CO3 (Sodium carbonate) + CO2 (carbon dioxide) + H2O

Therefore,

  • Salt A, which is sodium bicarbonate and used as baking powder.
  • Salt B is sodium carbonate, which is used to remove the hardness of water.
  • C is carbon dioxide gas which turns lime water milky.
