Brass gets discoloured in air because of the presence of which of the following gases in air ?

  • A.Hydrogen sulphide
  • B.Oxygen
  • C.Nitrogen
  • D.Carbon dioxide

Answer: A

Brass tarnishes because of hydrogen sulphide in the air.

Traces of \(\mathrm{H_2S}\) react with the copper of the alloy to form a thin layer of black copper sulphide. The same gas is what blackens silverware.
