Question 44

The major components of German Silver are:

Solution

German Silver is an alloy that, despite its name, contains no silver at all. It is composed of copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), and nickel (Ni), typically in the approximate ratio of 60:20:20 by weight.

The presence of nickel gives the alloy a silvery-white appearance, which is why it is called "German Silver." It is widely used in making utensils, decorative items, and electrical components.

Among the given options, the correct composition is Cu, Zn, and Ni, which corresponds to option (2).
