Silver nitrate decomposes to silver nitrite on heating above its melting point

(212^{\circ} C)

.

2 A g N O_{3} > 212^{\circ} C 2 A g N O_{2} + O_{2}

On heating above

450^{\circ} C

(red hot), silver nitrate decomposes to metallic silver, oxide of nitrogen and oxygen.

2 A g N O_{3} > 450^{\circ} C 2 A g + 2 N O_{2} + O_{2}

Q. Which one of the following reactions will occur on heating $A g N O_{3}$ above its melting point?

$2 A g N O_{3} 2 A g + 2 N O_{2} + O_{2}$

$2 A g N O_{3} 2 A g + N_{2} + 3 O_{2}$

$2 A g N O_{3} 2 A g N O_{2} + O_{2}$

$2 A g N O_{3} 2 A g + 2 NO + 2 O_{2}$

$2 A g N O_{3} A g_{2} O + N_{2} O_{3} + O_{2}$
