Explanation
Sylvine (KCl) and rock salt (NaCl) are the ores of potassium and sodium respectively. Wood metal consists of Bi = 50%, Pb = 25%, Sn = 12.5% & Cd = 12.5% and is used in the making of automatic sprinklers as it melts in hot water (m.p.= 68 oC). Duralumin is used in the manufacturing of aeroplane parts and consists of Al = 95.5%, Cu = 4%, Mg = 0.5% and Mn = 0.5%.
