Copper reacts with the oxidilized copper on the penny.
That's a good question. What didhappen to it?I wouldn't expect much of anything to happen, since copper is a more active metal than silver. In fact, a copper plate dipped into a silver nitrate solution should grow silver crystals as the copper ionizes and replaces silver in solution.
You will surely ruin them or make them less valuable.
After a while you will observe that the nail has become coated with a layer of copper. This is a single displacement reaction since iron is more reactive than copper CuSO4 + Fe = FeSO4 + Cu
Vinegar and salt solution, the acetic acid from the vinegar dissolves the copper oxide. The copper from the copper oxide stays in the liquid
Copper is more reactive than silver hence copper displaces silver from silver nitrate solution.hence the solution from colourless changes to blue.
When a iron nail is dipped into copper sulphate solution after sometime the colour is changed into pale green.
The iron is a more active metal than copper, so the iron atoms in the nail replace the copper atoms in the copper sulphate solution, so it becomes iron sulfate. The copper atoms will start to build on the iron nail, as well.
One has been dipped in vinegar, and the other has not.
it will stop them from turning brown
pennies these days are not completely made of copper they are just dipped in copper giving them that finished look
red PH paper will get more darker when dipped in vinegar because vinegar is acidic in nature.it contains acetic acid& it's PH is always less than 7 depending upon concentration of acetic acid present in vinegar.
The metal that will turn green in vinegar is copper. Many people place copper in vinegar as a way to give it a very fast patina.
