What is the equation for the thermal decomposition of Ag3CO3?

I just want to know the gaseous products of this reaction .Does it only create CO2 or does it create both CO2 and O2

Update:

There was a mistake in the question.Ag2CO3 was typed as Ag3CO3.

    Ag3 CO3 does not exist.  The formula is Ag2CO3.  It will create only CO2.  The remaining oxygen will remain bound to the Ag:

    Ag2CO3 + heat ==> AgO(s) + CO2(g)
