How to distinguish brass and red copper?

Jun 27, 2022

1. Color: brass is yellow or dark yellow, purple copper is light purple red.

2. Hardness: the hardness of the alloy is greater than that of the single component metal, that is to say, the hardness of brass is larger.

3. Melting point: the melting point of the alloy is lower than that of the single component metal, that is to say, the melting point of copper is larger.

4. (1) reducibility: hydrogen is produced by the reaction of brass and non-oxidizing acid, while copper does not react.

(2) galvanic cell principle: using the different potential of two metals, the two metals are connected with wires and put into the non-oxidizing acid to generate a very negative electrode of gas, namely brass.
