Question

Brass an alloy of copper and zinc issaod to be mixture not a compound .why is that

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Really it is an alloy of Copper and Zn. There is no chemical bonding between Copper and Zinc atoms, hence it's not a compound but a mixture.

Answer 2

Answer:

We know that brass is a mixture not a chemical compound. And brass is a homogeneous mixture. Brass is an alloy, and either a "solid solution".

Explanation:

Complete-step- by- step answer:

i) Brass alloy is also commonly used in electronic devices like watches because they are non-magnetic. Metal Associates can fulfill its customer's brass needs from brass plates to brass round, flat and square wire.

ii) Brass is a mixture of copper and zinc, which has a harder finish than copper alone. Brass is a homogeneous mixture. It's made when copper and zinc are mixed. It's called a homogeneous mixture because it looks the same throughout.

iii) Chemical formula of brass: Cu3Zn2

and molecular weight is 321.42 gm. And composition of brass can be: Zinc 40.69 % Zn and Copper 59.31 % Cu.

iv) It's a mixture of copper and zinc, not a chemical compound. The proof of this is that if we leave brass, for example a cartridge case, in a corrosive environment like salt water for a long time, the zinc will dissolve out and leave a very thin and brittle copper shell
