there are many combinations of brass/copper/zinc. High brass for example has 65% copper and 35% zinc. Nickel brass has 70% copper and 24.5% zinc with 5.5% nickel Prince's has 75% copper and 25% zinc
Lincoln cents post-1982 are only 2.5% copper (the balance is zinc). Lincoln cents pre-1982 are 95% copper (except 1943, which are steel coated with zinc). 1982 Lincoln cents can be either type.
Pennies produced in 2004 were made from copper-plated zinc. Pennies with 95% copper metal have not been produced since 1982.
Pewter is 85% - 99% tin. Other constituents of the alloy are copper, antimony, bismuth and lead. There is no zinc in pewter
There is no specific ratio for bronze because there are many different bronzes. For example, Aluminium bronze contains 92% copper, 8% aluminium. Phosphor bronze contains 89.75% copper, 10% in and 0.25% phosphorus. Manganese bronze contains 58.5% copper, 39.2% zinc, 1% Iron, 1% tin, 0.3% manganese.
Brass - Aich's brass contains 66.6% copper and 36.58% zinc, the balance tin and iron. Muntz brass contains 60% copper and 40% zinc with a trace of iron and is used as a lining on boats
Muntz metal (see link).
A modern penny contains 2.5% zinc by weight, while the rest is made up of copper.
pure metal is a single element as Iron,copper,gold,silver while alloy is a mixture of two or more metals as Brass contains copper and zinc,Bronze contains copper and tin.
Alloys that contain only copper and zinc are usually called "brass"; there are also some alloys that contain one or more other metals in addition to copper and zinc, and these usually have another name.
Most trumpets are made of brass. They are then dipped in lacquer to maintain the shine. However, The most common type of brass used is yellow brass, which is 70 percent copper and 30 percent zinc. Other types include gold brass (80 percent copper and 20 percent zinc), and silver brass (made from copper, zinc, and nickel).
When a piece of copper metal is placed in zinc sulfate solution, nothing happens because copper is lower in the reactivity series than zinc. This means that zinc is more reactive than copper and will displace copper in the solution, resulting in the formation of zinc metal and copper sulfate.

The melting point of gilding metal is between 427 and 788 degrees Celsius. Gilding metal is an alloy that is comprised of 95 percent copper and 5 percent zinc.
Zinc is more reactive than copper sulfate. When zinc is placed in a solution of copper sulfate, a displacement reaction occurs where zinc displaces copper from the solution, forming zinc sulfate and copper metal.
When copper metal is reacted with concentrated nitric acid, it undergoes an oxidation reaction to form copper(II) nitrate, nitrogen dioxide gas, and water. When zinc metal is reacted with concentrated sulfuric acid, a displacement reaction occurs to form zinc sulfate and hydrogen gas. When a potassium chloride solution is reacted with zinc powder, a single displacement reaction takes place to form zinc chloride solution and potassium metal.
The Liberty Bell is composed primarily of Copper. Approximately 70 percent copper, 25 percent tin and traces of lead, zinc, arsenic, gold and silver.
