Salt crystals may be shiny.
Because in the oven the water evaporates but the salt remains.
It does actually..... I did it in 5th grade and the penny was SHINY...... she let me take it home
you put vinigar in a bowl and add salt rub the penny with a cloth soaked in your mixture and tada SHINY haha
Salt crystals can reflect light due to their flat, smooth surfaces that act as mirrors. When light hits these surfaces, it bounces off in various directions, creating a reflective effect. This is why salt can sometimes appear sparkly or shiny when under light.
A common liquid that makes a penny shiny is vinegar combined with salt. The acetic acid in vinegar reacts with the copper oxide on the penny's surface, while the salt acts as an abrasive to help remove tarnish. This process restores the penny's original luster, making it appear shiny and clean. Other methods may include using lemon juice or baking soda, but vinegar and salt are particularly effective.
Yes, salt can be used to clean pennies. When salt is combined with vinegar or lemon juice, it can create a chemical reaction that helps to remove the tarnish and dirt from the pennies, making them appear cleaner and brighter. Rubbing the salt mixture onto the pennies with a cloth can help to improve their appearance.
i can get them shiny but once i get them shiny, when I polish them they get scratched and become less shiny.
table salt is NaCl (sodium chloride) so its either sodium or chlorine chlorine is a green gas so it cant be that sodium is a light silvery solid so it cant be that the question doesn't seem to make much sense
A mixture of vinegar and salt or lemon juice and salt can effectively clean a penny by removing oxidation and dirt. These acids help dissolve the tarnish and reveal the shiny copper surface of the penny.
Shiny, as is bright, is shiny, NOT shiney as most mistake it for.
Salt or sodium chloride dissolves when subjected to water. The reason that it is clear is since photons from light do not collide with the electrons from the salt water and resonate back light (this causes the shiny surfaces of metals). So light passes through the solution and is hardly by the ions and water.
To make a penny shiny, you can soak it in a mixture of vinegar and salt, or you can use a commercial metal polish. Rub the penny gently with a soft cloth to remove any dirt or grime and reveal its shiny surface.
