None. It's 92% tin and the remainder is antimony and bismuth (8%).

"Today newly manufactured pewter should be a lead free alloy usually being hardened with additions of antimony and copper, containing over 90% tin. Other elements such as silver and bismuth are sometimes used. In the past pewter often contained lead but as awareness has grown into the harmful effects of lead it should now have been eliminated."

What is more reactive zinc or copper sulphate?

Zinc is more reactive than copper sulfate. When zinc is placed in a solution of copper sulfate, a displacement reaction occurs where zinc displaces copper from the solution, forming zinc sulfate and copper metal.


Does copper displace zinc from zinc sulphate?

No, zinc will displace copper from copper sulphate but not the other way around.


Does zinc usually combine with copper?

Alloys of zinc and copper are well known. There are no chemical compounds of zinc and copper.

The Zinc will displace the copper. It will become Zinc Sulphate. The word equation will be Zinc + Copper Sulphate -----> Copper + Zinc Sulphate. Hope this helps!


What non ferrous alloys were used by pre Iron Age metalworkers?

Pre Iron Age metalworkers used non-ferrous alloys such as bronze (copper and tin), brass (copper and zinc), and pewter (tin and lead). These alloys were valued for their strength, malleability, and resistance to corrosion, making them ideal for tools, weapons, and decorative items.


What two metals compose the alloy brass?

Zinc and Copper Copper and zinc make up the mixture (alloy) brass.


What happens when zinc is dipped in a copper sulfate solution Zinc is higher on the activity series than copper.?

When zinc is dipped in a copper sulfate solution, zinc will undergo a single displacement reaction where it will replace copper in the solution to form zinc sulfate and copper. This is because zinc is higher on the activity series than copper, so it is able to displace copper in the solution.


What is mixed with copper to make brass?

Brass is mainly an alloy of copper and zinc. Some alloys do have small amounts of arsenic added also.
