Question

What happens if silver chloride is exposed to sunlight. Write the chemical equation

Answer 1

HI MATE.........

When silver chloride is exposed to sunlight, photolytic decomposition reaction takes place i.e the decomposition reaction carried out by sunlight . AgCl is broken down into Ag and Cl.This is a reaction used in black and white photography.

2AgCl ----------> 2Ag   +     Cl

Silver              Silver     Chlorine

Chloride

(White)

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL...
