What type of substance is brass?
Brass is a chemically combined compound consisting of copper and zinc.
Is zinc igneous sedimentary or metamorphic?
Zinc is a mineral in its natural state as sphalerite (ZnS), which is a compound of Zinc and Sulphur. It is normally found along with other igneous type minerals such as copper, lead and iron.
What does acid do to copper pots?
To some degree yes. Most acids, even strong ones such as hydrochloric acid usually have no immediate effect on copper. However if copper is left to sit in concentrated hydrochloric acid for several days it will oxidize. Copper will react vigorously with nitric acid.
Name two alloys of copper?
The main alloys of copper are Brass (with zinc) and Bronze (with tin).
What is the affect of acid on different types of metals?
It really depends on the type of acid and the metal. Metals like gold and platinum (and others metals which are called the noble metals) are impervious to acids except for aqua regia which is a mixture of hydrochloric and nitric acids. Some metals like copper won't react with acids unless there is also an oxidizer present like hydrogen peroxide and then some metals like zinc will react with most acids readily.
Will a copper and a zinc electrode placed in an acid solution create a current?
yes, in fact they are used for a type of Voltaic battery.
How would you separate two things that cannot dissolve in water and are the same size?
This will depend on what the two substances are. You have to find a difference in their properties, some way in which they behave differently. Some suggestions: There are many solvents other than water. Will one substance dissolve in acetone for example? Might one be magnetic and the other not? There may be a difference in their chemical behaviour, e.g. if you had a mixture of zinc and copper, the zinc would dissolve in hydrochloric acid, leaving the copper behind. This last type of method can be quite fiddly if you're required to end up with both constituents of the mixture, but you may only need one of them.
What happens when you mix copper and nitric acid?
It is important to note that with any type of mixture involving acid one should be extremely careful. When you mix copper with nitric acid you will get either nitrogen dioxide or nitric oxide.
What type of substance is brass?
Brass is a chemically combined compound consisting of copper and zinc.
How do stitches dissolve?
They are coated with a type of fatty acid which when it becomes wet, causes it to dissolve. Since the tissues are moist, the fatty acid makes the suture dissolve.
What type of bond holds copper zinc alloy?
Metallic bond
What is the percentage of copper and zinc in brass sheet?
The amount of copper and zinc in brass vary considerably depending on the type of brass. Most types of brass can be made into sheet form. Most brass is about 30-40% zinc and about 60-70% copper.
What type of mixture is made when mixing zinc and copper to form bronze?
An alloy
Zinc reacting with copper sulfate to produce copper and zinc sulfate isn't an example of transmulation why?
Transmutation refers to a nuclear reaction. The equation you have is that of single replacement - a type of a chemical reaction.
Why is the following statement not an example of a transmutation Zinc reacts with copper sulfate to produce copper and zinc sulfate?
Transmutation refers to a nuclear reaction. The equation you have is that of single replacement - a type of a chemical reaction.
What type of energy is needed to get zinc reacted with hydrochloric acid?
kinetic energy
What is the difference between nickel and brass?
German nickel or nickel silver is an alloy that contains nickel, zinc and copper. That makes it a type of brass which is an alloy of copper and zinc. Pure nickel is an element, not an alloy.
