    2.76 g of silver carbonate on being strongly heated yields a residue weighing

    A) 2.15 g

    B) 2.48 g   

    C) 2.32 g

    D) 2.64 g

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] Unlike other metal carbonates that usually decomposes into metal oxides, liberating carbon dioxide, silver carbonate on heating decomposes into elemental silver liberating mixture of carbon dioxide and oxygen gas as
    \[A{{g}_{2}}(s)\xrightarrow[{}]{Heat}2Ag(s)+C{{O}_{2}}(g)+\frac{1}{2}{{O}_{2}}(g)\]
    \[MW=276g\]                 \[2\times 108=216g\]
    Hence, 2.76 g of \[A{{g}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}\] oh heating will give
    \[\frac{216}{276}\times 2.75=2.16g\] Ag as residue.
