What are photolytic decomposition reactions? Give an example.
Asked by Topperlearning User | 16 May, 2014, 09:24: AM
answered-by-expert Expert Answer

Photolytic decomposition reactions are those which require the presence of light. Since the analysis of a compound takes place using light energy or in other words photons therefore such reactions are called photolytic reactions.

Example: The decomposition of silver chloride into silver and chlorine is caused by light energy.

2AgCl → 2Ag + Cl2
