The minimum amount of Ag2CO3(s) required to produce sufficient oxygen for the complete combustion of C2H2, which produces 11.2L of CO2 at STP after combustion is: [Ag=108] Ag2CO3(s)→2Ag(s)+CO2(g)+12O2(g) C2H2+52O2→2CO2+H2O

Solution
The correct option is B345g The balanced reaction given for the complete combustion of C2H2 is C2H2+52O2→2CO2+H2O
So to produce 11.2L of CO2, C2H2 required is =5.6L=5.622.4mol=0.25mol
Again, for complete combustion of 1molofC2H2, 52molO2required
∴ For 0.25 mol of C2H2, 52×0.25mol=0.625molofO2 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 0.625molO2 minimum amount of Ag2CO3required=0.625×2mol=1.25mol=1.25×276=345g
