2.76 g of silver carbonate on being strongly heated yields a
residue weighing
- 2.16 g
- 2.48 g
- 2.32 g
- 2.64 g
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
oxides liberating carbon dioxide, silver carbonate on heating
decomposes into elemental silver liberating mixture of carbon
dioxide and oxygen gas as : M
$ Ag_2CO_3 \, _{\longrightarrow \, \, \, \, }^{Heat} 2Ag (s) + CO_2(g) + \frac{1}{2} O_2(g) $
MW = 276 g $ \hspace26mm $ 2 x 108 = 216 g
Hence, 2.76 g of $Ag_2CO_3 $ on heating will give
$ \frac{216}{216 } \times 2.76 $ = 2.16g Ag as residue.

Questions Asked in JEE Advanced exam
The center of a disk of radius $ r $ and mass $ m $ is attached to a spring of spring constant $ k $, inside a ring of radius $ R>r $ as shown in the figure. The other end of the spring is attached on the periphery of the ring. Both the ring and the disk are in the same vertical plane. The disk can only roll along the inside periphery of the ring, without slipping. The spring can only be stretched or compressed along the periphery of the ring, following Hooke’s law. In equilibrium, the disk is at the bottom of the ring. Assuming small displacement of the disc, the time period of oscillation of center of mass of the disk is written as $ T = \frac{2\pi}{\omega} $. The correct expression for $ \omega $ is ( $ g $ is the acceleration due to gravity):

- A positive point charge of $10^{-8}$ C is kept at a distance of 20 cm from the center of a neutral conducting sphere of radius 10 cm. The sphere is then grounded and the charge on the sphere is measured. The grounding is then removed and subsequently the point charge is moved by a distance of 10 cm further away from the center of the sphere along the radial direction. Taking $ \frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_0} = 9 \times 10^9 \, \text{Nm}^2/\text{C}^2 $, which of the following statements is/are correct:

- Consider a star of mass $ m_2 $ kg revolving in a circular orbit around another star of mass $ m_1 $ kg with $ m_1 \gg m_2 $. The heavier star slowly acquires mass from the lighter star at a constant rate of $ \gamma $ kg/s. In this transfer process, there is no other loss of mass. If the separation between the centers of the stars is $ r $, then its relative rate of change $ \frac{1}{r} \frac{dr}{dt} $ (in s$^{-1}$) is given by:

Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry
Chemistry is a vast subject and for understanding its significance we can take help of following points:
- Chemistry plays an important role in understanding various subjects like physics, geology and biology.
- Chemistry is a core branch of science that explains us about the various compositional properties and interaction of matter. It also helps to understand various chemical reactions.
- Chemistry is important in order to understand the behaviour of fertilizers, alkenes, acids, salts, dyes, polymers, drugs, soaps and alloys in organic and inorganic chemistry.
- Chemistry plays an important role in various fields like healthcare, industrial, research, food, and farm activities.

Classification of Matter
There are two ways of classifying the matter:
(A) Physical Classification:
Matter can exist in three physical states:
- Solids - have definite volume and definite shape
- Liquids - have definite volume but not definite shape.
- Gases - have neither definite volume nor definite shape.
(B) Chemical Classification:
Based upon the composition, matter can be divided into two main types:
- Pure Substances are defined as a single substance (or matter) which cannot be separated by simple physical methods. Pure substances can be further classified as (i) Elements (ii) Compounds
- Mixtures are the combination of two or more elements or compounds which are not chemically combined together and may also be present in any proportion.
