Question

(a) a white solid
(b) undergoes redox reaction
(c) to avoid action by sunlight
(d) none of the above

Answer 1

Answer:

options c. sunlight acts as a catalyst for agcl to undergo heterolytic cleavage.

Answer 2

Answer:

(c) to avoid action by sunlight

Explanation:

There is an important reason behind storing silver chloride in a dark coloured bottle and the reason is to avoid action by sunlight. Because if silver chloride comes in contact with sunlight it decomposes silver chloride into silver and chlorine gas.

So to avoid this action we kept silver chloride in a dark coloured bottle instead to keep it in any other bottle.
