Home Chemistry 1

A few days ago I was having a look what would happen if various metallic elements were added to a beaker of Distilled White vinegar.

Using Zinc (Zn) didn't appear to do very much, however dropping Magnesium (Mg), did appear to produce a slow reaction, which seemed to result in the magnesium dissolving.

So the experiment I am going to carry out will use the following:

Equipment

White Vinegar

Elements

White Vinegar

Other

This is not strictly needed, but will be used to test the pH of the vinegar before I start.

Method

  1. Part fill each test tube with White Vinegar
  2. Place 1 sample of each element in a test tube.
    • Note Copper foil and magnesium ribbon should be cut to size.
  3. Place out of the way for a period of time and monitor results

Notes

Experiment started 14:13 on 03/01/2023
