As brass is metal made up from copper and zink it gets rusted from h2s present in air.

It is B presence of hydrogen sulphide in air and reacts oxidation then colour changes.

I think it should have been oxygen. But @Poorna Chandra is right, how will it react ?

Hydrogen gas gives a smell of rotten eggs and turns lead acetate paper silvery back.

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

I think the correct option is oxygen. As brass gets react with oxygen and get rust.

Brass is a alloy of Cu and Zn so it can decolourise easily with hydrogen sulphide.

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

Hydro sulphide is a colourless gas and if mixed with others, will get colourless.

Why brass discolored in the presence of hydrogen sulphide?
