प्रश्न
A metal salt MX when exposed to light splits up to form metal M and a gas X2. Metal M is used in making ornaments whereas gas X2 is used in making bleaching powder. The salt MX is itself used in black and white photography.
(a) What do you think metal M is?
(b) What could be gas X2?
(c) Name the metal salt MX.
(d) Name any two salt solutions which on mixing together can produce a precipitate of salt MX.
(e) What type of chemical reaction takes place when salt MX is exposed to light? Write the equation of the reaction?
उत्तर
(a) Metal M is silver (Ag).
(b) Gas X2 is chlorine (Cl2).
(c) Metal salt MX is AgCl.
(d) Solution of sodium chloride and silver nitrate on mixing together can produce a precipitate of salt MX.
(e) Decomposition reaction by light takes place.
2AgCl (s) → 2Ag (s) + Cl2 (g)

Why are decomposition reactions called the opposite of combination reactions? Write equations for these reactions.
A solid substance P which is very hard is used in the construction of many buildings, especially flooring. When substance P is heated strongly, it decomposes to form another solid Q and a gas R is given out. Solid Q reacts with water with the release of a lot of heat to form a substance S. When gas R is passed into a clear solution of substance S, then a white precipitate of substance T is formed. The substance T has the same chemical composition as starting substance P.
(a) What is substance P? Write its common name as well as chemical formula.
(b) What is substance Q?
(c) What is gas R?
(d) What is substance S? What is its clear solution known as?
(e) What is substance T? Name any two natural forms in which substance T occurs in nature.
