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
- Test Tube Rack
- 3 Test tubes
Elements
- Zinc Granuals (Zn)
- Copper Foil (Cu)
- Magnesium Ribbon (Mg)
- Distilled White Vinegar
Other
- Universal indicator paper
This is not strictly needed, but will be used to test the pH of the vinegar before I start.
Method
- Part fill each test tube with White Vinegar
- Place 1 sample of each element in a test tube.
- Note Copper foil and magnesium ribbon should be cut to size.
- Place out of the way for a period of time and monitor results
Notes
Experiment started 14:13 on 03/01/2023
