Answer:
As the Tin has "lousy properties," humans can use copper before tin.
Explanation:
Heat of formation of the copper (II) oxide = -156KJ/mol
Heat of formation of Tin (IV) oxide =-581KJ/mol
As, we know that the copper will form the copper oxide after receiving reduced energy. Humans were able to use the elemental copper before tin. And also, tin has itself the lousy properties as compared to Copper. Copper are also the good conductor of heat, hence they are used in the electric wiring. Apart, from that it is also being used for roofing and plumbing. And as heat exchangers in the industries Copper also possess the antibacterial property.
