Solution
Bronze is an alloy of copper and tin.
Explanation:
Bronze is a solid alloy composed primarily of 88% copper and 12% tin. It is used in the production of hardware, utensils musical instruments, medals, and other items. Due to its resistance to corrosion caused by seawater, it is used in submerged bearings and ship propellants.

No chemical reaction takes place when granules of a rusty-brown 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.
