Question

8. Silver is more likely to tarnish in a place with
fuel-burning factories than in a forested
area. Explain why.​

Answer 1

Answer⏬

• This is because silver reacts with sulphur in the air to form a coating of silver sulphide.

• Thus air in the vicinity of a petroleum refinery has a higher concentration of sulphur than other places. This is why silver is more likely to get tarnished near a petroleum refinery than in a place far away.

All the best :)
