Because even though silver halides are way more photosensitive, silver nitrate is a bit, and storing in a bottle which lets the light pass through freely would affect it shelf life.

Why cloroform is kept in coloured bottels and also describe the properties of cloroform?

It is reacting with visible light .That is why using colored bottles.


What would happen if a copper coin were kept immersed in a solution of silver nitrate write the word equation also?

copper is placed above the silver in the ractivity series which indicates that copper is more reactive than silver . when a copper coin is kept immersed in a solution of siler nitrate ,silver from its solution will deposit on copper coin . copper slowly displaces silver from the silver nitrate solution and the colour of solution changes from colourless to blue due to the formation of copper nitrate . the copper coin will disappear and silver will percipate out .


A copper coin was kept dipped in silver nitrate solution for a hours or dayswhat will happen to the colours of solution?

Copper is more reactive than silver hence copper displaces silver from silver nitrate solution.hence the solution from colourless changes to blue.
