Ideally, everyone performing the experiment would include the following:
- distilled waterThere are a lot of factors involved. The cohesion and adhesion ('stickiness') of water molecules can be effected by things like oils (on surface pennies from peoples' skin) and other contaminates on the penny.
The size of the dropper or pipette will determine the size of each water droplet - the larger the drop, the fewer number of drops will fit on the penny.
The manner in which the water is added to the penny is also a factor. Water has a cohesive nature (the molecules are kind of like magnets and are attracted to one another). Therefore, if the drop from the pipette is allowed to touch the water already on the surface of the penny, the water can be 'pulled' out of the dropper. When this happens, the size (volume) of the drop is not always the same - it could be a very small amount (which will result in a very large number of drops), or a large amount.
Soap causes the cohesiveness ('stickiness') of the water molecules to decrease so they are not as strongly attracted to each other. Because of this, when soap is added to the water the number of drops that can be placed on the penny will decrease. The water molecules can't 'stick' together as well, so the water on top of the penny spills off sooner than it would with non-soapy water.
Ideally, everyone performing the experiment would include the following:
- distilled water (to start with)
- same type/size of calibrated dropper/pipette
- same date of penny
- penny cleaned as thoroughly as possible using same cleaning procedure
- same 'dropping' procedure
I would say 35 drops!
11mL is 220 drops (20 drops per mL).
it depends on the size of the mouth
18-20drops of water = 1 mL of water
Yes water makes a penny rust faster in water because the particles are nore affective and the coke does not have near as many particles as water well good luck with the expirementing that project!!!!!!!!
In this experiment, the control group would be the penny! The independent variable is the substance/water on the penny, and the dependent is how many drops the penny takes.
adhesion
how many drops of water can a penny hold? topic: crazy penny........
four
The controlled variable is the penny. The independent variable is the water. The dependent variable is the amount of water able to fit on the penny.
One large drop of rain, or as many as 20 average-sized drops of water from an eyedropper, given maximum surface tension. As many as 35 of the smallest drops can hold together atop the coin.
Alot of drops fit because if you keep the surface tension from moving then you could put as much drops as you can.] ==If you put a penny on a flat surface and keep its tension and keep the penny from moving you can put as much drops as you can till it leaks off. You cant put as much as you want cause the penny will overflow. its not a big object?

The penny's state of corrosion.
It all depends on if you drop the water fast or if you drop it slow. Ideally, everyone performing the experiment would include the following: - distilled waterThere are a lot of factors involved.

Water has a surface tension. When dropping water on a penny, people usually underestimate how much water the surface of a penny can hold. The surface tension of water is strong on a smaller surface, and when dropping water on the surface of a penny, towards 20 drops the water on the penny will look like it is bulging out a lot. It really depends, depending on which side of the penny you are using, it ranges from 6 to even 34 drops using a simple eyedropper. Because eyedroppers do not produce the exact same size of drops every time, the result is not very accurate. To be even more accurate, scientists use accurate distributing machines and a very new penny to determine how many drops of water it can hold without vibrations. There could be certain amounts of grime and dirt on a penny, depending on how old it is, which can affect how much water can be put onto it. Different types of water can also change how much a penny can hold. Tap water has certain amounts of chemicals in it, and that could also affect the weight and surface tension of the water on the penny. The height of which the water comes off from matters too, the more force of the water that comes down, the more likely the water on the penny is to splash and spill. The place the water lands on also has an effect on it. To be even more accurate, light has a mass. If light shines directly at the water on a penny, it could push it a tiny bit. This change is impossible to see, and it has basically no effect on the penny or water at all whatsoever. Remember, all tests may not be 100% accurate, and there may always be a chance that there is a better way to make a penny hold more droplets of water than the presumed "most advanced and accurate" way.
it is big inside but small out side
