Solution

The correct option is B 345 g
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 mol of CO2

From equation (2), 2 mol of CO2 is produced from 2.5 mol of O2.
0.5 mol of CO2 will be formed from = 2.52×0.5 = 0.625 mol of O2.
From equation (1),
1 mol of Ag2CO3 produces 0.5 mol of O2.
0.625 mol of O2 is formed from = 0.625×2 = 1.25 mol of Ag2CO3.

Molar mass of Ag2CO3=276 g mol1
Minimum amount of Ag2CO3 required=276 g/mol×1.25 mol=345 g
