Introduction
An alloy is a homogeneous ixture
of two or more metals or a metal
and non-metal.
They are generally harder than
their
components with reduced
malleabilitycom
and
.
ductility. Alloys are prepared to
enhance
certain characteristics of the
constituent
metals as per re!uirement.
In this pro"ectiCBSEweshall

form of 0nCl8 in an ammoniacal soln. of Ammonium

-Cl and then treated with .otassium
ferrocyanide to get a bluish-white ppt. of
0n8=+e6 ,7>?.
%ron$e
%ron$e contains Cu and Sn. Their nitrates are
obtained by dissol#ing the sample in conc.
,itric acid. The nitrates are precipitated as
sulphides by passing -8S through their
solution in dil. -Cl.
The CuS is insoluble in yellow a onium
sulphide while SnS is soluble. The ppt. is
separated by 'ltration.
The ppt. is dissol#ed in conc. -,41 and then
Ammonium hydroxide solution is com
passed through it.%lue

The 'ltrate is treated with conc. -Cl followed
by 0inc dust
to obtain SnCl8 . Then -gCl8 solution is added.

%rass:
A small piece of brass was placed in a
china dish and dissol#ed in
minicomum !uantity of
<;Aconc.-,41.
The soln. was heated to btain a dry residue.
The residue was dissol#ed. in /ilute -Cl.
-8S gas wasiCBSEpassed
and a blac(.ppt. was obser#ed. The
soln. was 'ltered and the ppt. was
dissol#ed in ,-94- soln. A blue
coloration obser#ed indicates the
presence of Cu.
The 'ltrate was tested for presence
of 0n. Ammon um hydroxide and
chloride solutions were added and
then -8S gas was passed. A dull
grey ppt. was separated and
dissol#ed in dil.
-Cl followed by addition of
.otassium
ferrocyanide. A bluish white ppt.
con'rms the presense of 0n.
