The correct equation for the decomposition reaction of Silver chloride :
2AgCl(s)⇒2Ag(s)+Cl₂(g)
Further explanation
Given
Silver chloride breaks down into Silver and Chlorine.
Required
The correct equation
Solution
Decomposition reaction : a single reactants breaks down into 2 or more products. The reaction is the reverse of synthesis reaction
General formula :
AB ⇒ A + B
So for decomposition of Silver chloride :
2AgCl(s)⇒2Ag(s)+Cl₂(g)
