उत्तर
Photolytic Decomposition is the process by which silver chloride breaks down into silver and chlorine when exposed to sunlight. Silver metal and yellowish chlorine gas are the byproducts of the breakdown of white silver chloride.
The chemical reaction is given as follows:
\[\ce{2AgCl(s) ->[Light][Decomposition]2AgCl(s) + Cl2(g)}\]

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.
