Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

1)Photolytic decomposition

2)2AgCl----(Sunlight)---->2Ag+Cl2

3)Used in the black and white photography

Answer 2

$\huge\star{\green{\underline{\mathfrak{Answer :-}}}}$

(1) As there is only one product given, it is obvious that decomposition reaction will occur.

Decomposition reaction is where a single productsplits up into two or more simpler substances.

Particularly as shown in the figure this will be photo decomposition reaction.

(2)$\tt{AgCl_2 \longrightarrow (sunlight) 2Ag + Cl_2}$

This is the reaction.

(3) The salt silver chloride is widely used in photography industry where it is used basically in black and white photography.
