Shiny brass! Copper meets Zinc
Copper and zinc do not react, but melted together they blend into brass, a golden-coloured alloy that is harder than copper.
The result
- What you get
- Brass (an alloy)
- When it happens
- When melted together
Fun fact from Fizzy: Trumpets, trombones and door knobs are often made of brass!
🥽 Melted metal is dangerously hot. Only experts melt metals, in special furnaces.
