Heya user☺☺
When silver chloride(AgCl) is exposed to sunlight it get decomposed into silver and chlorine itself. This type of decomposition caused by the sunlight is called photolytic decomposition.
The balanced chemical reaction in this is....
sunlight
2AgCl ----------------- 2Ag +Cl2.
The one use of it is...
It is used in black and white photography..
Hope this will help you
