its easier and quicker for the zinc in the brass to react with the hydrochloric acid.

What test would you use to determine if brass and soil is either homogeneous or heterogeneous?
Brass is homogeneous. To test this, I'm still finding it. But brass is homogeneous.
What is the metal composition of a sacagawea coin?
Golden Dollar's overall composition:88.5% copper6.0% zinc3.5% manganese2% nickelManganese brass composition:77% copper12% zinc7% manganese4% nickel
What elements are used to make brass?
zinc and copper-its an alloy (homogeneous mixture) so it has variable composition
Does heat effect brass?
The melting point of brass is in the range 900-950 0C, depending on the composition.
Steel and brass alloy can be differentiated by?
Composition and Properties The best way to differentiate between brass and stainless steel is to know their composition. Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, while steel is an alloy of iron, carbon, and chromium. Just by their base metal, you can easily tell which has suitable properties for particular applications.
How would you separate wood shavings from brass nuts?
I'd get a magnet and remove the brass with that.
What does steel pins wood shavings and brass nut make?
Answer: A grammatically incorrect sentence. "(D)oes should be "do" to go with the plural subjects: pins, shavings, nut.
What is brass salt?
It is a special solution; see the link below for the composition.

Is brass an compound?
Brass is not a compound, because its atomic composition can vary from one sample to another. Instead brass is a mixture, of the special type called an alloy, because it is a mixture primarily of metals.
Is brass an element compound or a homogeneous mixture or a heterogeneous mixture?
Brass is a homogeneous mixture. It is made up of a combination of copper and zinc, which are two elements. As a homogeneous mixture, brass has a uniform composition and properties throughout.
Explain how you could determine that brass is a solution and not a colloid or suspension?
Brass is a solution as it is homogenous in composition. In cannot be separated out. The particles are as one and do not hang where there could be spun out. Since they cannot be separated, brass is a solution.
What elements are used to make brass?
zinc and copper-its an alloy (homogeneous mixture) so it has variable composition
Methods of separating mixtures that would allow you to separate nails from a pile of wood shavings?
Use a centrifuge. Magnetic separation will not work if they are brass nails.
What temperature does a brass cartridge melt?
Not all brass is made the same way. The melting point of red brass is 1,832 degrees Fahrenheit. The melting point of yellow brass is 1,660-1,710 degrees Fahrenheit, and the melting point of admiralty brass is 1,650-1,720 degrees Fahrenheit.
What is the percent composition of phosphorus in AlBr?
- If you thought to the aluminum bromide (AlBr3) is a mistyped formula.- You may have shortened wrong "brass" and you thought to aluminium brass; the content of phosphorus is max. 0,01 %.
