White silver chloride turns grey in sunlight
`2AgCl(s) overset("Sunlight")to 2Ag(s) +Cl_(2)(g)`
Decomposition reaction/Photolytic decomposition
Detailed Answer :
When 2 g of silver chloride taken in china dish is placed in sunlight the colour of silver chloride changes to grey.
Chemical reaction involved is :
`2AgCl(s) overset("Sunlight")to 2Ag(s) +Cl_(2)(g)`
