Solution 1
An alloy is a homogeneous mixture of two or more metals or metals and non-metals. For example, brass is an alloy of copper and zinc.
For example:
- Stainless steel is an alloy of Nickel and Chromium.
- Amalgam is an alloy of Mercury.
- Brass is an alloy of Copper and Zinc.
- Bronze is an alloy of Copper and Tin.
- Solder is an alloy of Lead and Tin.
Solution 2
An alloy is a homogenous mixture of two or more metals or a metal and a non–metal in definite proportion.
Examples:
- Brass – copper, and zinc.
- Stainless steel – iron, nickel, and chromium

Explain the chemical reactions in rusting of iron.
| A process of forming a thick oxide of aluminium when aluminium is exposed to air. This coat makes it resistant to corrosion. Resistance can be improved by making a layer of oxide thinker. In this technique, the aluminium article is the anode, and the electrolyte is sulphuric acid. The anode reaction results in the formation of a black-coloured film of aluminium oxide on the anode. By putting appropriate dyes in the electrolytic solution, both coloured surface with the decorative finish is achieved. Kitchen articles like anodised such as pressure cookers, pans and frames of sliding windows are applications of this technique. |
