Gaseous products formed when gun powder is subjected to heating are dissolved in water. Identify the products formed on dissolution.A. `H_(2)CO_(3), HNO_(3)`B. `H_(2)SO_(3), H_(2)SO_(4)`C. `H_(2)SO_(4), HNO_(2)`D. `H_(2)SO_(3), H_(2)CO_(3)`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
The components present in gun powder are `KNO_(3)`, C and `S. KNO_(3)` on heating gives `KNO_(2) "and" O_(2)`. The liberated `O_(2)` is the source for the combustion of carbon and sulphur. The products formed are `CO_(2) "and" SO_(2)` which dissolve in water to form `H_(2)CO_(3) "and" H_(2)SO_(3)`.
