उत्तर
AgCl
Explanation:
Silver chloride (AgCl) is highly sensitive to light and undergoes a photochemical decomposition reaction. When exposed to sunlight, it breaks down into grey silver metal and pungent chlorine gas.
\[\ce{2AgCl_{(s)} ->[Sunlight] 2Ag_{(s)} + Cl2_{(g)}}\]

What does one mean by exothermic reaction? Give example.
The white solid compound A decomposes quite rapidly on heating in the presence of a black substance X to form a solid compound B and a gas C. When an aqueous solution of compound B is reacted with silver nitrate solution, then a white precipitate of silver chloride is obtained along with potassium nitrate solution. Gas C does not burn itself but helps burn other things.
