Musical instruments like trumpets and trombones are madefrom an alloy called brass. Brass is composed of copper andzinc atoms and appears homogeneous under an optical microscope.The approximate composition of most brass objectsis a 2:1 ratio of copper to zinc atoms, but the exact ratio variessomewhat from one piece of brass to another. (a) Wouldyou classify brass as an element, a compound, a homogeneousmixture, or a heterogeneous mixture? (b) Would it be correctto say that brass is a solution? [Section 1.2]
