What are the favourable qualities given to gold when it is alloyed with copper or silver for the purpose of making ornaments?
Solution:
If we use pure gold (24 carat), it is difficult to make ornaments.
Pure Gold is highly malleable and soft in nature, which will not give any strength to the ornament and it will be de-shaped easily.
When Pure is alloyed with copper or silver (less than 24 carat), it becomes hard and strong. Now it can be used to make ornaments.
