Question
Bronze is an alloy of ______.
Options
copper and tin
copper and zinc
tin and zinc
copper, zinc and tin
Solution
Bronze is an alloy of copper and tin.
Explanation:
Bronze is a solid alloy composed primarily of 88% copper and 12% tin. It is used in the production of hardware, utensils musical instruments, medals, and other items. Due to its resistance to corrosion caused by seawater, it is used in submerged bearings and ship propellants.

| A process of forming a thick oxide of aluminium when aluminium is exposed to air. This coat makes it resistant to corrosion. Resistance can be improved by making a layer of oxide thinker. In this technique, the aluminium article is the anode, and the electrolyte is sulphuric acid. The anode reaction results in the formation of a black-coloured film of aluminium oxide on the anode. By putting appropriate dyes in the electrolytic solution, both coloured surface with the decorative finish is achieved. Kitchen articles like anodised such as pressure cookers, pans and frames of sliding windows are applications of this technique. |
