(i) (a) White coloured silver chloride undergoes decomposition in the presence of sunlight and forms silver (grey in colour) and chlorine.
`{:(2AgCl(s) overset("Sun light")to 2Ag(s) + Cl_(2)(g)),("(White)" " "" (Grey)"):}`
(b) Brown coloured copper powder on heating in air gets oxidised to copper oxide which is black in colour.
`{:(2Cu(s) + O_(2)(g) overset("heat")to 2CuO(s)),("(Brown) " " "" (Black)"):}`
