i. Decomposition reaction is a reaction in which single reactant breaks down to form two or more simpler products.
ii. Photochemical decomposition of silver chloride will occur on its exposure to sunlight.

iii. When lead (II) nitrate solution is mixed with potassium iodide solution, double displacement as well as precipitation reaction takes place

In the refining of silver, the recovery of silver from silver nitrate solution involved displacement by copper metal.

Answer 2AgNO3 (aq) + Cu (s) → Cu(NO3)2 (aq) + 2Ag (s) Silver Nitrate + Copper → Copper Nitrate + Silver

10 gm of silver nitrate solution is added to 10 gm of sodium chloride solution. What change in mass do you expect after the reaction and why?

No change in mass will take place because mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction as law of conservation of mass states.

what happens when silver chloride is exposed to sunlight?

When silver chloride is exposed to light, it decomposes to form silver metal and chlorine gas. 2AgCl(s)+sunlight -----> 2Ag(s) + Cl2(g) This reaction is used in black and white photography.

Silver is very precious metal and is used in Jwellery. One million atoms of silver weigh 1.79 x 10^-16 g. Calculate the atomic mass of silver.

Atomic mass of an element is the mass of 6.022 x 1023 atoms.  Now, 106 atoms of silver weigh = 1.79 x 10-16  6.022 x 1023 atoms of silver weigh  =1.79 X 10−16x...
