you CAN turn a penny green just soak it in water and dont dry it it should turn green after few days/a week or more
The penny has copper in it. Copper reacts to the oxygen in the air by producing copper oxide therefore turning green. The older the coin, the more copper in the coin.
in about a week i did it as a science project
The patination of copper is an oxidation reaction. The greenish formed on these copper coin is the mixture of oxides and carbonates form of copper.
A chemical reaction occur and and hydrated copper acetate is produced.
oxidaition
it would turn a dark color green
Pennies are made, or at least coated, with Copper and that copper can oxidize and turn green. Newer pennies have an alloy metal that is supposed to reduce this chemical action.
yes cause its copper
I turned white vinegar green by putting a 1969 penny in it for two weeks in the refrigerator. It turned green because of the copper in the penny reacting with the vinegar in a process called oxidization. The green was the copper oxide formed when the copper in the penny oxidized in the vinegar.
The grass turns green when it is exposed to sunlight.
oxygen.
The pennies turn green because they are open to the air, because they contain copper, and because copper turns green when oxidized.
the Statue of Liberty is green because it has been there for a long time. Since metal rusts, the Statue of Liberty also rusted. In fact, it rusted enough for it to turn green. If a penny rusts enough, it will also turn green.
it would turn a dark color green
Copper turns green because of sulfur pollution in the air, forming copper sulfide.
Actually if you take a penny and "water" it or place it in water within a couple days it will become green.
The copper reacts with the oxygen in water to form copper oxide and hydrogen ions. This is copper oxide is a green compound.
Pennies are made, or at least coated, with Copper and that copper can oxidize and turn green. Newer pennies have an alloy metal that is supposed to reduce this chemical action.
Acid in the rain reacted with the copper to turn it green. That is why there is sometimes green on pennies. Acid in the rain reacted with the copper to turn it green.

You can also turn pennies and some other coins green by letting them sit overnight in a paper towel soaked in vinegar. and if you want to clan pennies to shine, put them in a cup of vinegar and salt dissolved. (I once tried cleaning them with a pinch of kosher salt instead and it dug a hole through the penny! -NOT RECOMENDED!!!)
leave it water for about a week or longer, how long it takes depends on size, i would personally start with a penny.
The copper metal oxidizes from exposure to air and moisture, forming a coating of copper carbonate.It an also help crops
