Silver chloride (AgCl) is a white, odorless, crystalline solid that is insoluble in water but soluble in ammonia and concentrated nitric acid. It is found naturally as the mineral chlorargyrite. Silver chloride is synthesized by reacting silver nitrate with a soluble chloride such as sodium chloride: AgNO3(aq) + NaCl(aq) → AgCl(s) + NaNO3(aq). Silver chloride is used in photographic film and paper as it is sensitive to light. When exposed to light, silver chloride decomposes into metallic silver and chlorine gas. This reaction is the basis of photography, where the amount of light that falls on a photographic film determines the amount of silver that is produced. Silver chloride is also used in other applications such as in the production of silver plating, in the manufacture of electronic devices, and as a disinfectant. It is studied because of its unique properties, including its sensitivity to light and its ability to act as a catalyst in certain chemical reactions.'
