It would erode. despite the water is clean, water molecules would still be bouncing of the penny, and slowly destroy it over time.

What happens when you put a penny in water?

When you put a penny in water, its density is greater than that of water, so the penny sinks. This is because the weight of the water displaced by the penny is less than the weight of the penny itself.


What is the difference between distilled water and double distilled water?

Distilled water is water that bean put through the process of distillation once. Triple distilled water is water that bean put through the process of distillation 3 times. The only real difference between the two is in how likely they are to be 100% pure H2O water. If you start with water that has a lot of impurities in it, for example sea water, you will no doubt have to distil it repeatedly to make it is 100% free of its impurities. If you start with water that has less impurities, for example bottled water, you may get away with distilling it just once depending on how efficient your distiller is.


What happens when you put a penny in vinigar?

Vinegar contains acetic acid. The acid reacts with the outer layer of the penny, which is usually very dull because of oxidation, and removes that layer leaving a new, shiny layer from beneath.


Why distilled water is used instead of tap water during experiment?

There are chemical added to the tap water. It contain various types of natural but relatively harmless contaminants such as scaling agents like calcium carbonate in hard water and metal ions such as magnesium and iron, and odoriferous gases such as hydrogen sulfide. There are also fluoride in it. It is not pure.


How do you test if the liquid is distilled water or tap water?

Put two copper wires into a cup of the water you want to test, one on each side of the cup, then connect it to a battery.Distilled water might get a few sodium particles, but tap water will turn a wierd green colour and the wires will be coated in salt.I hope this answer has been helpful.
