Is silver reduced when tarnished silver becomes shiny

1 answer

Yes, silver can be restored to its shiny state when it is tarnished. Tarnish on silver is usually caused by a reaction between the metal and sulfur-containing substances in the air or on the surface of the silver. This tarnish can be removed through various methods, such as polishing with a silver polish or using homemade remedies like baking soda and water. Once the tarnish is removed, the silver will appear shiny and restored to its original state.
