Solid silver chloride, AgCI(s), decomposes to its elements when exposed to sunlight Write a balanced equation for this reaction
1 answer:
Answer: The coefficient in front of AgCl when the equation is properly balanced is 2.
Explanation:
According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.
Decomposition is a type of chemical reaction in which one reactant gives two or more than two products.
Decomposition of silver chloride is represented as:
Thus the coefficient in front of AgCl when the equation is properly balanced is 2.

Correct Answer: Option D i.e. CH3CH2CH2CH2CH3
Reason:
Isomers are the compounds having same molecular formula, but different structural formula.
The molecular formula of the compound is C5H12
The compound present is question (i.e. 2-methyl butane) and option D (n-pentane) has same molecular formula. Hence, they are isomers.
However, compound present in option A, is the same compound provided in question. Hence, it is not an isomer. Compounds reported in option B and C has one carbon atom less and more, respectively as compared to the compound reported in question. Hence, they are also not isomers.
