    Which one of the following reactions will occur on heating \[AgN{{O}_{3}}\] above its melting point?

    A) \[2AgN{{O}_{3}}\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}2Ag+2N{{O}_{2}}+{{O}_{2}}\]

    B) \[2AgN{{O}_{3}}\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}2Ag+{{N}_{2}}+3{{O}_{2}}\]

    C) \[2AgN{{O}_{3}}\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}2AgN{{O}_{2}}+{{O}_{2}}\]

    D) \[2AgN{{O}_{3}}\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}2Ag+2NO+2{{O}_{2}}\]

    E)  \[2AgN{{O}_{3}}\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}A{{g}_{2}}O+{{N}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}+{{O}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Silver nitrate decomposes to silver nitrite on heating above its melting point\[(212{}^\circ C)\]. \[2AgN{{O}_{3}}\xrightarrow[{}]{>212{}^\circ C}2AgN{{O}_{2}}+{{O}_{2}}\] On heating above\[450{}^\circ C\](red hot), silver nitrate decomposes to metallic silver, oxide of nitrogen and oxygen.                 \[2AgN{{O}_{3}}\xrightarrow{>450{}^\circ C}2Ag+2N{{O}_{2}}+{{O}_{2}}\]
