yo dude!!!
here u go.... hope it hlps☺️

▶️DESCRIBE A METHOD FOR SEPARATION OF THE CONSTITUENTS OF GUNPOWDER.

✨Gunpowder is a mixture of sulphur, charcoal and potassium nitrate (nitre). When water is added to the mixture potassium nitrate dissolves. The mixture is then filtered. The filtrate is potassium nitrate solution while the residue is a mixture of sulphur and charcoal. The filtrate is evaporated on a sand bath to obtain nitre back. When carbon disulphide is added to the residue, sulphur dissolves. When the mixture is filtered the filtrate is sulphur solution while the residue is charcoal. Leaving it open evaporates the sulphur solution. Carbon disulphide evaporates and sulphur crystals are left behind.

Answer:

Hy yaa!!

HERE IS YOUR ANSWER!!

When water is added to the gunpowder potassium nitrate (nitre) dissolves. Filtrate potassium nitrate (nitre) back. The residue added to carbon disulphide, sulphur dissolved after filtering sulphur solution will be filtrate and charcoal will be residue. Leaving it open evaporates the sulphur solution and carbon disulphide,also and sulphur cristial left behind.
