Why is silver chloride protected from light?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because it decomposes in light to form silver and chlorine.

Silver chloride is photosensitive. In sunlight, it undergoes photodecomposition: \(2\mathrm{AgCl}(s) \xrightarrow{sunlight} 2\mathrm{Ag}(s)+\mathrm{Cl}_2(g)\). The silver formed is grey, so silver chloride is protected from light. Option B is incorrect because silver chloride does not form silver oxide on exposure to light.
