Which of the following pair of elements form alloy?

  1. $Zn$ and $Pb$
  2. $Fe$ and $C$
  3. $Hg$ and $Ag$

  4. All of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation
Alloys are formed by metals whose atomic radii not differ by more than $15 \%$ so that the atoms of one metal can easily take up the positions in the crystal lattice of the other.
Thus all of these will be the correct answer.

A Correct answer
Explanation

Solder- an alloy of tin $(Sn)$ and lead $(Pb)$
Bronze-an alloy of copper $(Cu)$ and tin $(Sn)$
Brass-an alloy of copper $(Cu)$ and Zinc $(Zn)$
Bell metal-an alloy of copper $(Cu)$ and tin $(Sn)$
Therefore option A is correct

Select the correct alternative for the preparation of steel:

  1. A - coal, B- limestone, C - iron ore

  2. A - coal, B - iron ore , C -limestone

  3. A - limestone, B - coal , C - iron ore

  4. A - iron ore, B -limestone , C - coal

D Correct answer
Explanation

Making iron is the first step of production of steel. Iron is usually made from iron ore,limestone and coal. Limestone is added to iron before entering the blast furnace. The limestone reacts with acidic impurities called slag and floats on top of the molten iron where it is skimmed off.

D Correct answer
Explanation

Stainless steel also known as inox steel. It is an alloy of steel (Iron and nickel) with chromium 10.5%. It does not corrode readily, rust or stain. There are different grades of stainless steel. It is used where both the properties of steel and corrosion resistance are required.
