Detailed Solution

 Concept-  Lime water is a calcium hydroxide (Question Image) saturated solution.  Calcium hydroxide reacts with carbon dioxide to form the precipitate of calcium carbonate and water.
Thus, lime water turns milky due to the formation of an insoluble suspension of calcium carbonate.
As the gas evolved turns lime water milky, that means the gas C is carbon dioxide (Question Image)
Now, it is known that the salt commonly used in bakery products is sodium bicarbonate. The molecular formula for sodium bicarbonate isQuestion Image .
Thus, A is sodium bicarbonate - Question Image.
The salt A on heating gets converted into salt B and gas C.
Sodium bicarbonate on heating undergoes a decomposition reaction. During the reaction, products formed are sodium carbonate which is a salt, carbon dioxide gas and water.
The molecular formula for sodium carbonate isQuestion Image, for carbon dioxide is Question Image and for water is Question Image. Thus, B is sodium carbonate - Question Image and C is carbon dioxide - Question Image.
Hence, the correct option is (1).
