AI Generated Solution

**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Silver Objects**: Silver objects are primarily made of the metal silver, which is represented by the chemical symbol Ag. 2. **Exposure to Environment**: When silver objects are exposed to the air, they come into contact with various components in the atmosphere, including oxygen and sulfur compounds, particularly hydrogen sulfide (H2S). 3. **Chemical Reaction**: The silver reacts with hydrogen sulfide present in the air. This reaction leads to the formation of silver sulfide (Ag2S). The chemical equation for this reaction can be simplified as: \[ ...
