Question

Name the reaction in which decomposition take place on absorption of light.

Answer 1

Answer:

Photochemical reaction

Answer 2

(1.) Decomposition on heating

Calcium carbonate when heated gives quicklime (CaO) and carbon dioxide

$CaCO _{3 } →CaO + CO _{2}$

(2.) Decomposition by light

Silver chloride decomposes to silver and chlorine in presence of sunlight

$2AgCl→2Ag+Cl _{2}$

(3). Decomposition by electricity

Water on electrolysis gives hydrogen and oxygen

$2H_{2}</p><p>O→2H_{2} +O _{2}$
