Solution

Silver nitrate is a metal nitrate which on heating changes into a metal.
When silver nitrate is heated it decomposes to give free metal that is silver as the solid residue.
$\underset{silver nitrate}{\underset{}{2 {AgNO}_{3} (l)}} \to \underset{silver}{\underset{}{2 Ag (s)}} + \underset{oxygen}{\underset{}{O_{2} (g)}} + \underset{nitrogen dioxide}{\underset{}{2 {NO}_{2} (g)}}$
