Zinc and copper (mostly copper) oxidizes in air to form white zinc oxide and red copper oxide.

Please someone clearly explain the mechanism behind this process, it's very confusing for me.

It is react with the atomsphere air,then it become colourless due to the effect of sulphide.

I think because other options are less reactive than H2s, and it reacts to give that colour.

Brass react with hydrogen sulphide results hot and cold condition so it becomes colourless.

I think as brass has got zinc in it and it rapidly reacts with zinc and gets discolored.

Its a hydrogen sulphide which discolours the brass which is a composition of cu and zn.

We can not choose because it can do it.

So can you do something which you can't do it.

I think that option a is correct because O2 can react with brass and can discolored it

Why we choose hydrogen sulphide. You mean hydrogen can do any material to decolourize?
