Silver Chloride is a chemical compound made up of silver and chlorine, represented by the formula AgCl. It appears as a white, crystalline solid that is insoluble in water. Silver chloride is often used in photography, particularly in the production of light-sensitive materials, due to its ability to darken when exposed to light. In addition to its use in photography, silver chloride has applications in various fields, including medicine and water treatment. It can act as an antimicrobial agent, helping to prevent infections. When exposed to light, silver chloride can also decompose, releasing silver and chlorine gases.
