What reading level is Chemistry of Common Things book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
German Silver. — This alloy is a white metal con- taining from 18 % to 30 % nickel alloyed with copper and zinc, 3 or 4 parts of copper being used to 1 of zinc. It is hard, takes a high polish, and is not easily corroded. The electrical resistance of German silver is from 18 to 28 times as great as that of copper, and it is largely employed as resistance wire in electrical work. It is also used for making small articles and is the " white metal " used for the interior of plated ware.
181. Type ...Metal. — Lead and antimony are here the important metals and from 10 % to 20 % of tin is added to increase the fusibility. The antimony gives hardness to the softer lead and tin. It also causes the alloy to expand when it solidifies, thus filling all the outlines of the mold or matrix, and so making a clean-cut impres- sion. Books are not printed from type, as type metal is not hard enough to stand the wear involved in printing large editions without becoming dull, so copper-faced electrotype plates made from the type are used instead (see § 415).
