yes because all of the chemicals in the sodas can make a compound to clean the dirty penny!
Dr Pepper and Sprite contain acids that can dissolve the oxidation on the pennies, making them appear cleaner. The acids in these beverages break down the tarnish or grime on the pennies, revealing the shiny copper surface underneath.
can gatorade clean a old penny
coke cleans penny better
Well both have acid. Sprite has citric acid and Pepsi Cola has phosphoric acid. However cola also has caramel, which is the brown colouring, so this may make the cleaned penny look a bit browner. I don't know the precise proportions of acids in the two drinks, as the makers keep these secret, so the best way to find your answer would be to do an experiment with two equally dirty coins.
Vinegar contains Acetic acid that reacts with the copper in the penny.
the acidity breaks into the dirty molecules and cleans it off
Vinegar is more effective for cleaning pennies than Sprite. Vinegar contains acetic acid, which can help break down the tarnish on the penny, whereas Sprite may not be as effective due to its lower acidity level.
Lemon juice and salt can clean a dirty penny alsovinegar and salt
vinegar is the best way to clean a penny out of the choices given.
The acid cleans the rust off of the dirty penny making it shinny sparkle clean yeah.
That sounds like a good science experiment. Nobody has really studied how sodas clean things, so you should get 3 glasses and put Sprite in one and Coke in another and plain water in the last one. Drop a penny into each glass and measure how clean it gets after each day until one penny is totally clean.
Sprite contains carbonic acid which reacts with the copper oxide on the penny, removing the tarnish and making it shiny. The acidity of the Sprite helps dissolve the dirt and grime on the surface of the penny, leaving it looking cleaner.
