Question
Brass is an alloy of ______.
Options
Cu and Sn
Cu and Pb
Pb and Sn
Zn and Cu

Solution
Brass is an alloy of Zn and Cu.
Explanation:
Brass is a substitutional alloy made by melting together copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn). Copper serves as the base metal, while zinc is added to enhance the alloy’s strength, malleability, and corrosion resistance. The other options are incorrect because copper and tin (Sn) form bronze, while lead (Pb) and tin (Sn) are used to make solder.

No chemical reaction takes place when granules of a solid, A, are mixed with the powder of another solid, B. However when the mixture is heated, a reaction takes place between its components. One of the products, C, is a metal and settles down in the molten state while the other product, D, floats over it. It was observed that the reaction is highly exothermic.

| 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. |
