mixture of tin and lead, and nothing will happen. If tin atom reacts with lead atom, none of the atoms will oxidise even if they are heated. because reaction will only occur when a metal react with acid and so on.

What properties of copper and tn change when these metals are mixed together to form bronze?

A solution of copper and tin is a mixture at the atomic leverl. No amount of optical magnification can reveal the different metals in the alloy. The mixture is a random arrangement of copper and tin atoms.


Which metal was often confused with lead and tin?

Zinc was often confused with lead and tin due to their similar appearances. However, zinc has a higher melting point than lead and tin, and it does not oxidize easily like lead and tin.


What reaction would occur if the layer of tin on a tin can storing food were to crack?

If the tin layer on a tin can storing food were to crack, it could lead to the exposure of the underlying metal (usually steel) to the contents. This could potentially result in corrosion of the steel, contaminating the food and compromising its safety. It is advisable to discard the food if a tin can shows signs of damage.


Are lead and tin good conductors if so why?

Lead and tin are good conductors, as are all metals. That is a result of the metallic bond, in which the constituent atoms in a piece of metal share their electrons with each other in the form of a cloud of electrons, all of which can move very freely and are not attached to any particular atom or region.


If you melt lead and tin together will the two bond together?

No, most metals do not react with each other, By melting "together" you'll make a mixture named Lead-Tin alloy: Tin forms a eutectic mixture with lead containing 63% tin and 37% lead, used as "solder"

Tin is more conductive. Lead is used to ease application.


Would lead and tin nitrate react?

Yes, lead nitrate and tin nitrate can react together to form insoluble lead(II) tin(IV) oxide when subjected to appropriate conditions. This reaction involves the displacement of lead with tin, resulting in the creation of the new compound.


What percentage is lead and tin?

If the question relates to solder or tin-lead plating of electronic components to prevent tin whiskers from growing then the answer is a minimum of 3% lead in the tin solder. Eutectic tin-lead solder for electronics is 63% tin 37% lead. Due to the European Union's lead ban (environmental regulation called RoHS), non-lead tin solders have been developed; SAC alloys (tin-silver-copper) being most common. A higher temperature is required to melt solders that do not contain lead. As of this writing (Oct 2010), there is no adequate substitute for lead. Tin whiskers may grow and eventually cause electronic products to fail and we do not know why that happens or how long it takes for them to grow. One scientist at NASA aptly summarized the situation: "Sometimes tin whiskers" For sheetmetal (copper, tin plate, galvanized steel plate soldering, 50% tin - 50% lead is preferred. 50-50 was used for copper plumbing until lead was banned (concerns about water quality). Silver replaced the lead and a higher temperature was required to melt it.
