Solution

The correct option is B 345 g
11.2 L of CO2 at STP = 11.2 L 22.4 L/mol = 0.5 mol
2 moles of CO2=52 moles of O2 required for the complete combustion of C2H2.
1 mole of CO2=52×2 moles of O2 required for the complete combustion of C2H2.
0.5 mol of CO2= 0.5 mol×52×2=58 moles of O2 required for the complete combustion of C2H2.
12 moles of O2 =1 mole of Ag2CO3(s) required.
1 moles of O2 =2 mole of Ag2CO3(s) required.
58 moles of O2 =2×58=54 moles of Ag2CO3(s) required.
The molar mass of Ag2CO3(s)=275.75 g/mol.
The mass of Ag2CO3(s) required =275.75 g/mol ×54 mol =345 g.
