Acknowledgement
I, Souradip Sen of class XLL C express my gratitude to my school authorities for allowing me to undertake the project titled Alloy Analysis I naturally could not have done justice to my delicate assignment, had I not been privileged to get the animate guidance from Mr.T.N.Dey, Chemistry teacher of Deepika E.M School. I also express sincere thanks to my family who extended helping hand in completing this project. Souradip Sen

Introduction
An alloy is a homogeneous mixture of two or more metals or a metal and non-metal. They are generally harder than their components with reduced malleability and ductility. Alloys are prepared to enhance certain characteristics of the constituent metals, as per requirement. In this project, we shall qualitatively analyze the chemical composition of two alloys: Brass and Bronze

Theory
Brass
Further analysis is carried out for respective ions. Cu dissolves in H2S to give black ppt. of CuS. It is filtered to get the soln of Zinc Sulphide. It precipitates out in the form of ZnCl2 in an ammoniacal soln. of Ammonium chloride. The precipitate is dissolved in dilute HCl and then treated with Potassium ferrocyanide to get a bluishwhite ppt. of Zn2[Fe(CN)6].

Bronze
Bronze contains Cu and Sn. Their nitrates are obtained by dissolving the sample in conc. Nitric acid. The nitrates are precipitated as sulphides by passing H2S through their solution in dil. HCl.

The filtrate is treated with conc. HCl followed by Zinc dust to obtain SnCl2 . Then HgCl2 solution is added. Formation of slate-coloured ppt. indicates the presence of Sn.
E.c
The ppt. is dissolved in conc. HNO3 and then Ammonium hydroxide solution is passed through it.Blue colouration confirms the presense of Cu.

The CuS is insoluble in yellow ammonium sulphide, while SnS is soluble. The ppt. is separated by filtration.
