Lemon juice, salt, vinegar and tamarind are used to clean green stains on copper vessels and to shine black is silver utensils.

Explanation:

  • Copper is one of the soft and ductile metals.
  • It is used to make fuse wires, utensils for household purposes.
  • When the copper vessels are exposed to air, it reacts with the gases and moisture in the surrounding environment.
  • It results in the formation of copper carbonate and copper hydroxide.
  • These compounds cause corrosion in the copper material and forms a green colour.
  • Silver when exposed to air reacts with sulphur compounds like hydrogen sulphide and results in corrosion.
  • This leads the silver to become shine black silver.
  • The lemon juice, salt, vinegar and tamarind have cleansing properties which helps to remove green/black layers.
