उत्तर
When 2 g of silver chloride, AgCl, is kept in sunlight then AgCl breaks down into Ag and C12. The color of the silver chloride turns to grey.
The following change can be represented by the chemical reactions as:
\[\ce{2AgCl(s)->[sunlight] 2Ag(s) + Cl2(g)}\].
This type of reaction is an example of a photochemical decomposition reaction.

Two metals X and Y form the salts XSO4 and Y2SO4, respectively. The solution of salt XSO4 is blue in colour whereas that of Y2SO4 is colourless. When barium chloride solution is added to XSO4 solution, then a white precipitate Z is formed along with a salt which turns the solution green. And when barium chloride solution is added to Y2SO4 solution, then the same white precipitate Z is formed along with colourless common salt solution.
