[Pb. PMT 2004]

Options:

A) 2.76 g

B) 2.98 g

C) 2.16 g

D) 2.44 g

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

$ 2Ag_2CO_3 $

$ \xrightarrow{\Delta } $

$ 4Ag+2CO_2+O_2 $ [(2 × 108) + 12 + 48] 4 × 108 2(216 + 12 + 48) 4 × 108 2 × 276 = 552 4 × 108 $ \because $ 552 gm silver carbonate gives silver = 432 gm. \ 2.76 gm silver carbonate gives $ \frac{432\times 2.76}{552}2.16gm $
