When a bimetallic bar made of copper and iron strips is heated the bar bends toward the iron strip. The reason for this is?
The copper has a higher thermal expansion coefficient than the iron. The copper wants to get longer relative to the iron so the bar bends away from the iron strip. For example if iron is on top and copper on the bottom the bar bows downward. This seems opposite to your question conclusion
How much is brass worth per gram?
Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, and has been in use for thousands of years. It retains many of the good properties of copper, whilst being cheaper than that. Other than steel, it is probably the next most common alloy. It is readily re-cyclable. It has valuable anti-bacterial properties. As far as the retail value of brass, that depends upon the purity of the sample, and the local demand.
