What change in colour is observed when a silver chloride is left exposed to sunlight?
The colour will change into grey.
Why silver bromide is kept in brown bottle?
Silver bromide is a photo reactive substance, the colour of the bottle keeps light out.
What is the colour of silver iodide?
For silver halogens Silver Fluoride ; No colour , remians in solution Silver Chloride ; White ppt Silver Bromide ; Cream/Pale yellow ppt Silver Iodide ; Yellow ppt. These are the classic test colours for silver halogens.
What happens when silver chloride is left in sunlight for sometime?
It turns grey in colour i.e., 2AgCl ------> 2Ag+Cl2
How can you distinguish a Cl from I?
Chloride and iodide ions can be distinguished by the colour of their precipitate which are formed by treatig it with silver nitrate solution.

Why do you save silver chloride in dark bottle?
Normal daylight or artificial indoor light can cause reduction of the silver ions in silver chloride to metallic silver.Because on exposure to light it turns into silver metal and elemental chlorine. This reaction is the basis of photographic films.

What is the compound name AgCl?
The correct name for AgCl is silver chloride. Its IUPAC name is chlorosilver. Other names for silver chloride are cerargyrite, chlorargyrite, and horn silver.
WHY inner bottle's outer body of a thermous flask is made up of silver in colour?
because sliver colour absorbs maximum heat radiation. that's why it is of sliver colour.
What is the correct name for the compound AgCl?
Silver(I) chloride, although it is typically just called silver chloride, because +1 is silver's only valence state.
How did silver and chlorine formed to silver chloride?
Silver chloride is easily synthesized by combining aqueous solutions of silver nitrate and sodium chloride.
What is AgCl color?
AgCl is silver chlorideThe color of silver chloride (AgCl) is white.
