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

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

Answer: B

Brass discolours in air because of hydrogen sulphide, which reacts with the copper in the alloy to form a dark film of copper sulphide.

The gas is present in traces in polluted air and near decaying organic matter. Silver tarnishes black for exactly the same reason.
