Which one of the following reactions will occur on heating ${\rm{AgN}}{{\rm{O}}_3}$ above its melting point?

$2{\rm{AgN}}{{\rm{O}}_3} \to 2{\rm{AgN}}{{\rm{O}}_2} + {{\rm{O}}_2}$

$2{\rm{AgN}}{{\rm{O}}_3} \to 2{\rm{Ag}} + 2{\rm{N}}{{\rm{O}}_2} + {{\rm{O}}_2}$

$2{\rm{AgN}}{{\rm{O}}_3} \to 2{\rm{Ag}} + {{\rm{N}}_2} + 3{{\rm{O}}_2}$

$2{\rm{AgN}}{{\rm{O}}_3} \to 2{\rm{Ag}} + 2{\rm{NO}} + 2{{\rm{O}}_2}{\rm{\;}}$

Which one of the following reactions will occur on heating

\mathrm{AgN}{\mathrm{O}_3}

above its melting point?

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

2\mathrm{AgN}{\mathrm{O}_3} \to 2\mathrm{AgN}{\mathrm{O}_2} + {\mathrm{O}_2}

Option C (

2\mathrm{AgN}{\mathrm{O}_3} \to 2\mathrm{AgN}{\mathrm{O}_2} + {\mathrm{O}_2}

) is correct because silver nitrate decomposes to silver nitrite and oxygen upon heating.
