Solution

The correct option is B 345 g
The balanced reaction given for the complete combustion of C2H2 is
C2H2+52O22CO2+H2O

So to produce 11.2 L of CO2, C2H2 required is =5.6 L=5.6 22.4 mol=0.25 mol

Again, for complete combustion of 1 mol of C2H2, 52 mol O2 required

For 0.25 mol of C2H2, 52×0.25 mol=0.625 mol of O2 required.

The balanced chemical equation for the production of O2 from Ag2CO3 is,
Ag2CO3(s)2Ag(s)+CO2(g)+12O2(g)

So for the production of 0.625 mol O2 minimum amount of Ag2CO3 required=0.625×2 mol=1.25 mol=1.25×276=345 g
