not if you just soak it in but you can put this washing up liquid on it (I'm not sure which brand it was) I know this works because I did it on a filthy roman coin I found buried in the garden
There are 45mg of sodium in an 8 oz serving of Sprite.
Sprite is a mixture because it is made up of multiple substances that do not chemically combine. In the case of Sprite, it is a mixture of carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, citric acid, and natural flavors.
I have a penny beside me soaking in Hydrogen Peroxide. after about half an hour it gained some small bubbles all over the penny, you would think being copper the penny would oxidize and turn green. This does not appear to be happening yet, however, it may be that the penny has an oxide protection covering it - either that or it would take more time.Why not try it your self and see?Hydrogen Peroxide is available at nearly every grocery store and I am sure you have a penny or two laying around.
Most igneous rocks are harder than a penny, so it is unlikely that a penny would be able to scratch an igneous rock. Igneous rocks are typically composed of minerals like quartz and feldspar, which have a higher hardness than copper (the main material in pennies).
Sprite's chemical formula is C12H22O11. It is a carbonated soft drink produced by the Coca-Cola Company.
can gatorade clean a old penny
coke cleans penny better
the bubbles form
yes because all of the chemicals in the sodas can make a compound to clean the dirty penny!
Vinegar is more effective for cleaning pennies than Sprite. Vinegar contains acetic acid, which can help break down the tarnish on the penny, whereas Sprite may not be as effective due to its lower acidity level.
vinegar is the best way to clean a penny out of the choices given.
That sounds like a good science experiment. Nobody has really studied how sodas clean things, so you should get 3 glasses and put Sprite in one and Coke in another and plain water in the last one. Drop a penny into each glass and measure how clean it gets after each day until one penny is totally clean.
When you put a penny in Sprite, you can observe a chemical reaction taking place due to the copper in the penny. The copper dissolves in the acidic environment of the Sprite, creating a greenish-blue solution on the surface of the penny. Over time, the penny may develop a tarnished appearance.
No, I'm afraid not.
it splashes
Sprite contains citric acid, which is a weak acid that can help to dissolve and remove stains from metal surfaces. When a penny is soaked in Sprite, the citric acid can react with the dirt and oxidation on the surface of the penny, making it appear cleaner. However, it is worth noting that using a mild household acid like citric acid is generally safer than using harsh chemical cleaners for cleaning pennies.
Dr Pepper and Sprite contain acids that can dissolve the oxidation on the pennies, making them appear cleaner. The acids in these beverages break down the tarnish or grime on the pennies, revealing the shiny copper surface underneath.
