It is true some food products labeled as baby carrots are made by cutting down larger roots, and that these items can be treated with chlorine during processing. However, itâs not true thereâs anything wrong with the larger carrots theyâre made from, or that the resultant vegetables reach consumers in a chlorine-soaked state.
The silver is reduced to elemental silver and the copper is oxidized to copper(II): Cu(0) + 2AgNO 3 = Cu(NO 3) 2 + 2Ag(0). The silver crystallizes at the surface of the copper and the copper wire quickly becomes coated with a bunch of elemental silver.
Now, when copper is combined with other metals the end result is an alloy. Both bronze and brass are examples of copper alloys. They too play very important roles industrially. The primary difference between the two is that brass is made out of copperâs combination with zinc while bronze is literally copper plus tin. As mentioned, copper is now popularly used in many industries but for it to become more useful, it needs to be combined first with other more stable metals. This is because copper in its purest form is just too soft. This is the same reason why bronze and brass came to existence. Historically speaking, bronze is an older alloy because it is said that it was already discovered as early as 3500 BC.
