Solution

Silver chloride is a chemical compound with the chemical formula AgCl.

This formula indicate one molecule of ag(silver) is combined with one molecule of cl(chlorine).

Upon illumination or heating, silver chloride converts to silver and chlorine.

Also we get the molecular mass of the compound=molar mass of ag + molar mass of cl
=107.8+35.5
=143.3
