Answer:

Some liquid medications are kept in dark-coloured bottles because some liquid medications can react to light.

  • When the medications are housed in coloured bottles, this helps to keep the medications from coming into contact with the light.
  • They serve as a filter, preventing the interactions that may occur between the medications when they are exposed to light.
  • Silver chloride does not break down into silver and chlorine in bottles with dark colours.
  • As an illustration, hydrogen peroxide is stored in dark-coloured bottles because it decomposes into oxygen gas and water when exposed to sunshine.
  • An illustration would be the formation of the toxic gas phosgene when the chemical chloroform interacts with light.
