It wouldn't exactly burn, but the copper shell would slowly oxidize over the course of a few days in a concentrated strong acid. Once the thin layer of copper is gone from the outside the zinc on the inside, which makes up most of the penny, will react fairly vigorously, producing zinc chloride and bubbles of hydrogen gas.
No, metals are not soluble. Base metals are inert in pure water that is they do not give up their electrons. However they may be reactive so if they dissapear over time it is due to a reaction. Whether this will happen to a coin depends on what it is made of. Others would appear to dissolve in an acidic water solution but this again is caused by a reaction. Iron will react rather thsn dissolve in water where oxygen is present and rusts. The ability for this to occur in other metals depends on the electronic configuration of the metal and the acidity (amount of hydroxide) of the solution it's in. Some metals also are so highly reactive in water that they will explode if placed in it. Gold however is extremely stable and largely unreactive so gold coins or jewellry is largely unchanged even after thousands of years of being buried in acidc soil.
and gleaned from elsewher on the internet:
Copper does not react with water.
Tin is more reactive than germanium, which is immediately above tin in the Periodic Table. It is stable to water under ambient conditions but on heating with steam, tin reacts with water to from tin dioxide, SnO2 and hydrogen.
Although zinc metal tarnishes in moist air, and zinc burns in air to form the white zinc(II) oxide, a material that tirns yellow on prolonged heating, zinc does not react with water.
why would u even ask that
Yes. Dissolution of a copper penny would indeed be a chemical reaction.
pretty much anything. If it can burn through metal, it can burn through alot of stuff. I dont think it can burn through an acid beaker
It is acid. If it were to get on a cut it will burn.
It depends on how strong the acid is. But acids that are very strong-- yes, they can burn through clothes.
cos it'll burn right through if it is too acidic
It burns down the dirt and cannot burn down the metal used
It would burn as acid is corrosive
acid
Yes. Dissolution of a copper penny would indeed be a chemical reaction.
it would burn thorough it
it would burn straight thorough
What type of burn is categorized as alkali, acid, and organic
This is the phosphoric acid.
because it is an acid
chloride acid
Actually, some acids do burn litmus paper. Hydrochloric acid, for example, can burn paper, but the litmus on litmus paper shields the paper from the acid. Sulfuric acid, however, has dehydration properties, and would suck the water right out from the paper, charring it instantly.
An acid burn is a chemical burn; acids have free H+ ions that have a tenancy to attack and burn and sometimes dehydrate organic materials, such as your skin.
