Question
Write scientific reason.
On exposure to air, silver articles turn blackish after some time.

Solution
- Silver articles turn blackish after some time of exposure to air. This is because silver undergoes corrosion when exposed to air containing hydrogen sulphide.
- Silver reacts with hydrogen sulphide in air to form a layer of silver sulphide \[\ce{(Ag2S)}\], which gives silver articles a blackish appearance.

| 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. |
