Answer:

Salt A is sodium bicarbonate \text {NaHCO}_{3} (as it is used in bakery products and gives \text {Na}_{2}\text {CO}_{3} on heating).

Salt B is sodium carbonate \text {Na}_{2}\text {CO}_{3} (it is used for removal of hardness of water)

Gas C is carbon dioxide \text {CO}, (as it turns lime water milky).

\text {2NaHCO}_{3}\rightarrow \text {Na}_{2}\text {CO}_{3}+\text {H}_{2}\text {O}+\text {CO}_{2}\left ( g \right )
