Question
Write scientific reasons.
Lemon or tamarind is used for cleaning copper vessels turned greenish.
Advertisements
Solution
- 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.
