1.	Name the salts that are used in black and white photography. Give reactions when they are exposed to light. Define the type of chemical reaction taking place.
Answer» Silver chloride (Agcl) and Silver bromide (AgBr) 2AgCl+ Sunlight → 2Ag+Cl₂ 2AgBr +Sunlight → 2Ag+Br₂ Those reactions in which energy is absorbed (in form of heat, light or electricity) to break down the reactants is called decomposition reaction.

Answer»

Silver chloride (Agcl) and Silver bromide (AgBr)

2AgCl+ Sunlight → 2Ag+Cl₂

2AgBr +Sunlight → 2Ag+Br₂

Those reactions in which energy is absorbed (in form of heat, light or electricity) to break down the reactants is called decomposition reaction.
