Silver chloride is used in black and white photography.why?
Answers
Answer:
The light sensitivity of the silver halides is key to the photographic process. Tiny crystals of all three of these compounds are used in making photographic film. When exposed to light, a chemical reaction darkens the film to produce an image.
Answer:
heyaaa! here is the reason;)
Explanation:
When the given material ( silver chloride) is exposed to sun, a chemical reaction takes place and it decomposes to form silver and produce chlorine gas. During the *decomposition reaction*, the white coloured silver chloride turns into grey ( the colour of ash) due to the formation of the silver. As the above reaction is delicate to light, these were used to create black and white photographs!
NOTE:
* decomposition reaction is one such reaction in which a single product reacts along with heat to produce 2 or more products
