Lemon juice is an acid. The metal in the paper clip reacts with the acid to produce an electric current. It's the same process as the electricity produced in a battery.
Lemon juice is an electrolyte. Electrolytes conduct electricity when in a solution of water
Nitric acid can dissolve copper but not gold. Gold is resistant to most acids, including nitric acid, which is commonly used to dissolve copper.
Sulphuric acid is mixed with copper oxide to make copper sulphate through a chemical reaction.
Since copper chloride is produced, the acid must contain a chloride atom. The acid that fits this criterion is hydrochloric acid.
Hydrochloric acid reacts with copper carbonate to produce copper chloride, carbon dioxide, and water. This reaction is a double displacement reaction where the hydrogen in the acid displaces the copper in the carbonate compound.
How a lemon lights up a LED light is lemon juice has acid (a.k.a acidic juice) so when u connect zinc and copper to the lemon since they are conductors energy will flow from the acid to the copper or zinc and then it will flow through wires and the energy will be transformed into light energy and will be used by the LED light.
Lemon cleans pennies the best because of the acid in the juice.
Copper oxide is basic in nature.Lemon or tamarind is acidic.Hence, when we rub tarnished copper vessel with lemon juice or tamarind, the basic copper oxide reacts with acid(citric acid) present in the lemon or tamarind to form a salt which is washed away with water.Hence,the vessel gets cleaned.
The acid in lemon juice helps to dissolve the copper-oxide coating made from the penny's copper and the air's oxygen.
The citric acid reacts with the oxidation on copper.
Copper vessels are easily corroded.
equation = copper+suphuric acid=copper sulphate+hydrozen
When copper oxide is reacted with an acid such as hydrochloric acid, a chemical reaction occurs to form copper chloride and water. The copper oxide is neutralized by the acid, leading to the formation of a salt and water as products.
The construction of this simple battery. A zinc coated nail (2″ galvanized nail) and length of copper wire (6 cm of 14 gauge copper wire) are suspended in vinegar (4% acetic acid). A discarded film container is ideal for this project The copper lead is the "+" terminal of the battery and the galvanized nail is "-". According to the voltmeter, this vinegar battery is producing 0.834 volts. This battery still only produces a tiny current. Connect more batteries in series to increase voltage and current flow.
Lemon has Citric acid in it.
When sulfuric acid is passed on a copper plate, it will react with the copper to form copper sulfate and hydrogen gas. The reaction will also cause the copper plate to dissolve and form a blue-green solution (copper sulfate).
Depending on the acid, different things happen. With sulphuric acid: Cu + H2SO4 ----> CuSO4 + H2So, Copper Sulphate and Hydrogen With hydrochloric acid: Cu + HCl ----> CuCl2 + H2So, Copper Chloride and Hydrogen In general, a metal + an acid ----> a base and hydrogen gas.
