Because of the presence of hydrogen sulphide in Brass,it combines with oxygen in air and form water,evaporates.So remained sulphide is colourless in air .So Brass gets discoloured in the air.

Hydrogen sulphide can corrode metals such as iron, copper, brass. That discolour copper & brass utensils.

I think answer is "a' because it will form oxides with metals.

Hydrogen sulphide-Hs+br->hbr+s.

So it become discolour.

How its possible air doesn't have hydrogen sulphide?

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

How we can learn to balace reactions for class 8th?

Brass is a alloy so it can decolourise easily with hydrogen sulphide.

Brass is an alloy of Cu and Zn, when it comes in contact with H2S it forms zns and Cu2s which are black in colour hence brass gets discolured.
