    The carbonate which does not leave any residue on heating is:

    A)  \[N{{a}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}\]                             

    B)  \[CuC{{O}_{3}}\]            

    C)  \[A{{g}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}\]             

    D)         \[{{(N{{H}_{4}})}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Ammonium carbonate, on heating, decompose into ammonia and carbondioxide, hence leaves no residue. \[{{(N{{H}_{4}})}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}\xrightarrow{\Delta }2N{{H}_{3}}\uparrow +C{{O}_{2}}\uparrow +{{H}_{2}}O\uparrow \]
