When 1 mol of pure $$Ag_2CO_3$$ is strongly heated, calculate the weight of residue obtained in gm.

A
B
C
D

Solution

$$AgCO_3\, \overset{\Delta}{\rightarrow}\, Ag_2O\, +\, CO_2\,\uparrow\quad \displaystyle Ag_2O\, \overset{\Delta}{\rightarrow}\,2Ag\, +\, \frac{1}{2}{O_2} \uparrow$$
Residue is metallic Ag. $$1\,mol\, Ag_2CO_3\, =\, 2\, mol\,Ag$$ $$=\, 216\, g\, Ag$$
