प्रश्न
Write scientific reasons.
Lemon or tamarind is used for cleaning copper vessels turned greenish.
Advertisements
उत्तर
- Copper vessels turned greenish due to the formation of copper carbonate layer.
- The citric acid present in the lemon or tamarind neutralizes the basic copper carbonate and dissolves the layer.
- That is why tarnished copper vessels are cleaned with lemon or tamarind juice to give the surface of the copper vessel its characteristic lustre.

Four metals P, Q, R and S are all obtained by the reduction of their oxides with carbon. Metal P is used to form a thin layer over the sheets of metal S to prevent its corrosion. Metal Q is used for electroplating tiffin boxes made of metal S whereas metal R is used in making car batteries. Metals Q and R form an alloy called solder. What are metals P, Q, R and S? How have you arrived at this conclusion?
