Answer: The coefficient of silver chloride in the chemical reaction is 2
Explanation:
Decomposition reaction is defined as the reaction in which a single large substance breaks down into two or more smaller substances.
The general equation for the decomposition reaction follows:
[tex]AB\rightarrow A+B[/tex]
When silver chloride decomposes when exposed to sunlight, it produces silver metal and chlorine gas
The chemical equation for the decomposition of silver chloride follows:
[tex]2AgCl(s)\rightarrow 2Ag(s)+Cl_2(g)[/tex]
By Stoichiometry of the reaction:
2 moles of solid silver chloride decomposes to produce 2 moles of silver metal and 1 mole of chlorine gas
Hence, the coefficient of silver chloride in the chemical reaction is 2
Answer:
Explanation:
First of all it is decomposition reaction , since
AgCl is being decomposed to form Ag and Cl 2
Since the reaction is occurring in light it is called photodecomposition or
photodissociation or photolysis reaction
