Question

Give example for photolytic reaction

Answer 1

splitting of water in photosynthesis,light reaction

Answer 2

Explanation:

Reactions which occurs in the ‘presence of light’ are called photolytic reaction. In these reactions not only light but if photons have sufficient energy then inorganic bonds of chemical also transform by that photon.

Photolytic reaction can be written as  

$A+\text { light energy } \Rightarrow A(\text {excited})$

For Example:

Decomposition of silver chloride

$2 A g C l \Rightarrow 2 A g+C l_{2}$

In “the decomposition of Silver chloride”, the Silver ion and Chloride ion are separated as per the photolysis process.
