Solution

The correct option is B 345g
Ag2CO3(s)2Ag(s)+CO2(g)+12O2(g)(1)
C2H2+52O22CO2+H2O(2)
11.2 litre of CO2 at STP= 11.222.4=0.5 mole of CO2
From equation (2), 2 moles of CO2 is produced from 2.5 mole of O2.
0.5 mole of CO2 will be formed from= 2.52×0.5=0.625 mole of O2
Now, 1 mole of Ag2CO3 (equation 1) produces 0.5 mole of O2
0.625 mole of O2 is formed from= 0.625×2=1.25 mole of Ag2CO3 .
Molar mass of Ag2CO3=276gmmol1
Minimum amount of Ag2CO3=276×1.25gm=345gm
