Solution
- \[\ce{\ce{\underset{Hydrogen peroxide}{2H2O2_{(l)}}} ->[Light] \underset{Water}{2H2O_{(l)}} + \underset{Oxygen}{O2_{(g)}}}\]
- \[\ce{\underset{(White)}{\underset{Silver chloride}{2AgCl_{(s)}}} ->[sunlight][Decomposition] \underset{(Greyish white)}{\underset{Silver}{2Ag_{(s)}}} + \underset{(Yellowish green)}{\underset{Chlorine}{Cl2_{(g)}}}}\]
- \[\ce{\underset{(Pale yellow)}{\underset{Silver bromide}{2AgBr_{(s)}}} ->[Light][(Decomposition)] \underset{(Greyish white)}{\underset{Silver}{2Ag_{(s)}}} + \underset{(Red-brown)}{\underset{Bromine}{Br2_{(g)}}}}\]

A solid substance P which is very hard is used in the construction of many buildings, especially flooring. When substance P is heated strongly, it decomposes to form another solid Q and a gas R is given out. Solid Q reacts with water with the release of a lot of heat to form a substance S. When gas R is passed into a clear solution of substance S, then a white precipitate of substance T is formed. The substance T has the same chemical composition as starting substance P.
