Actually brass constitutes of Cu+Zn, as it comes in contact of Hydrogen Sulphide, it transform into copper sluphate of blue color & zinc hydooxide of faint red color. Hence, it changes color.
Dev said:
(Jun 19, 2011)
The Cu present in brass reacts with the sulphide ion of H2S forming CuS (cupric sulphide) which is black colored. Thus when brass is exposed to air it gets discolored.
Sushma said:

Primary ingredients of of brass are Copper&zinc. When brass exposed to air the hydrogen sulphide in the atmosphere is react with copper&zinc.
Copper reacts with sulphide ion and forms cupric sulphide which is black in color where as zinc reacts with hydrogen and forms zinc hydroxide which is faint red in color. Hence brass gets discolored when it exposed to air.
Antriksh said:

(Sep 6, 2012)
Brass is alloy of Cu and Zn. When it reacts with hydrogen sulfide(H2S).
It forms Cu2S(which is black in color) and ZnH2(which turns greyish on exposure to air at room temp). Hence answer is hydrogen sulfide

It is H2 sulfide because brass contain them since it is an alloy made of it and tin.
Abhigna said:

Safe corrosion will look reddish, black to brown or green to blue. Safe corrosion will occur if the brass has been kept clean and dry. If it is brownish or black this will be due to oxidization of the copper which occurs when exposed to air; this a natural phenomenon and is non-destructive. This is usually called "tarnish" and can be removed by careful cleaning and polishing. If the corrosion is green, continuous and non-flaky this again is safe corrosion.

Yes it is as hydrogen sulphide clears the chlorophyll from the sensitive plants and plants which are found in hilly regions.
Upender said:
(Sep 3, 2014)
The normal brown coloration on brass which slowly forms is primarily due to the oxidation of the copper (which makes up about 70% or more of the Brass alloy) to copper oxide.
The greenish patina that forms on brass (especially in inclement environments) can be a complex of copper carbonates and acetates (acetates come from naturally or artificially occurring contaminants or droppings in the atmosphere depending on the presence of Industry).
Vinegar (acetic acid) is capable of producing an intense green corrosion on brass (copper acetate) and copper alloys generally. Regions near industry may be exposed to Sulfur compounds such as Sulfur Dioxide, or Hydrogen Sulfide.
Mitu Moharana said:

Hydrogen sulfide:
Chemical Compound:
Hydrogen sulfide is a chemical compound with the formula H 2S. It is a colorless gas with the characteristic foul odor of rotten eggs; it is heavier than air, very poisonous, corrosive, flammable, and explosive.
Hydrogen sulfide is a chemical compound with the formula H2S. It is a colorless gas with the characteristic foul odor of rotten eggs; it is heavier than air, very poisonous, corrosive, flammable, and explosive.
Hydrogen sulfide often results from the bacterial breakdown of organic matter in the absence of oxygen gas, such as in swamps and sewers; this process is commonly known as anaerobic digestion H.
2S also occurs in volcanic gases, natural gas, and in some sources of well water. It is also present in natural halite type rock salts, most notably in Himalayan Black Salt, which is mostly harvested from the mineral-rich "Salt Range" mountains of Pakistan.
The human body produces small amounts of H2S and uses it as a signaling molecule.

Subroto Deb said:

Could any one reason for this answer?
Sonali said:
(May 26, 2015)
I think that answer B is correct because brass is equal to Zn and Cu which is transition element. We know that such types of elements are color elements. But when brass reacts with hydrogen sulphide it becomes discolored due to the presence of air.

Hydrogen sulfide is a reducing agent and when brass comes in its contact reduction occurs and causes it discoloration being reactive and due to its acidic properties and oxygen and carbon dioxide can't do it. And it not present in dry air composition.
But you should not forget that some gases are present as pollutants and hydrogen sulphide is a primary pollutant and you cannot consider that the composition is always the same as it is described in books as pollutants are not considered while giving composition of dry air and more over moisture is there in air which helps in reduction of brass. As far as I understand and option B is the right option.

This is called Tarnishing. It is a thin layer of corrosion that forms over copper, brass, silver, aluminium, magnesium and other similar metals as their outermost layer undergoes a chemical reaction. Tarnish does not always result from the sole effects of oxygen in the air. For example, silver needs hydrogen sulfide to tarnish, although it may tarnish with oxygen over time. It often appears as a dull, grey or black film or coating over metal. Tarnish is a surface phenomenon that is self-limiting, unlike rust. Only the top few layers of the metal react, and the layer of tarnish seals and protects the underlying layers from reacting the tarnishing.

I think its option (A) as the content of hydrogen sulphide in the air is almost 0.
Anupriya said:

Hydrogen sulphide is a heavy gas, it has property to react with metals like copper, bronze, steel etc. At some conditions (temperature, moisture) brass is a metal (alloy) made of copper and zinc. These two metals are mixed in different proportions. Copper reacts with hydrogen sulphide which makes it corrosive.

A is a better option because reactive free oxygen species is helpful to discolour the brass because free radical of oxygen may present which is react with brass.

It can never possible, with hydrogen sulphide. If brass gets rusted then, first of all, it must be break down into hydrogen and sulphur, but oxygen can be found in free with maximum no of molecules hence answer should be A".

In my opinion option A is correct as we see in fruits such as apples and bananas they get brown colour in coming in contact with air and because of oxygen it is.

Brass gets discolored in air because of the presence of Hydrogen sulphide.
It is because the presence of a mixture of hydrogen and sulphide and brass is a type of thing which has a colour very light and the mixture is non-temperature (hot and cold type of temperature) so it gets discoloured.
Hitesh said:

Yes, H2S is the correct one because sulphide gas is poisonous and if it is combine with H it becomes poisonous acid so it makes brass discoloured.
Suman said:
(Sep 1, 2019)
Because H2S is a bleaching agent.
Surabhichaurasia said:
(Oct 24, 2019)
Because H2S is more reactive.

Brass is the alloy of Copper & Zinc.
Brass reacting with Hydrogen Sulphate present in the atmosphere it forms Zinc Sulphate.

Brass gets discolored in the air because of the presence of Hydrogen sulphide. Because the presence of a mixture of hydrogen and sulphide and brass is a mixture of copper and zinc, which has a color very light that's why it happens.

Brass is a copper alloy with the addition of zinc.
Copper is reactive with some materials in the atmosphere at different temperatures.
Exposure to air at normal temperatures results in discolouration (tarnish) due to reaction with sulfur and chlorine compounds and carbonates,
Exposure at high temperatures > 150° C. Results in reaction with oxygen producing red oxides (cuprous) at lower temperatures and brown or black oxides (cupric) at higher temperatures.
