How hard is that?

Actually hydrogen sulfide is a oxidizing agent so when the bras is oxidize with hydrogen sulfide its convert to brass oxide.

Like iron is reacts with oxides then its changes iron color. Like that brass converts into colorless.

H2s is superconductor also.

Because it is homogeneous.

Due to atmospheric pressure.

I can't understand.

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

Composition of Dry Air.

Substance % by volume.

Nitrogen, N2 78.08.
Oxygen, O2 20.95.
Argon, Ar 0.93.
Carbon dioxide, CO2 0.033.
Neon, Ne 0.0018.
Helium, He 0.00052.
Methane, CH4 0.0002.
Krypton, Kr 0.00011.
Nitrogen (I) oxide, N2O 0.00005.
Hydrogen, H2 0.00005.
Xenon, Xe 0.0000087.
Ozone, O3 0.000001.

In air H2S won't exists directly in air. Then how it will react?

I never believed it was hydrogen sulphide.
