What happens when you leave a penny in soap?

When you leave a penny in soap, particularly in a solution with soap and water, the soap can help remove oxidation and tarnish from the penny's surface. The soap molecules interact with the copper, breaking down grime and allowing the penny to become cleaner. Additionally, the soap's surfactant properties can help disperse any oils or dirt on the penny. However, prolonged exposure may not be beneficial, as soap can leave a residue.

How does a penny change when it is left in container of soda overnight?

When a penny is left in a container of soda overnight, it undergoes a chemical reaction due to the acidic properties of the soda, primarily from phosphoric acid and carbonation. The acid can dissolve tarnish and oxidation, leading to a cleaner appearance. However, if left for too long, the penny may also develop a dull or discolored surface due to the interaction with the sugars and other compounds in the soda. Overall, the penny tends to become shinier but can also be damaged depending on the duration of exposure.
