In the Penny Cleaning Lab‚ my hypothesis‚ which stated that the lemon juice would be the best at cleaning the penny since it is an acid and acids are particularly good at cleaning metallic substances‚ was indeed valid. First‚ we started out with 1mL solutions of all the substances in the test tray. We dipped the pH paper in each solution for about a second and recorded the pH level for each substance. Before starting‚ we noticed that all the pennies were in some shade of brown‚ which I predicted

Determining the Percent Copper and Zinc in Pennies from Density Lab Report Procedure: For pre-1982 pennies- Mass 10 pennies‚ record data. Fill a 100mL graduated cylinder to 40mL or enough to fully submerge the pennies with water‚ record the volume in data table. Carefully place the pennies into the graduated cylinder‚ record the final volume of the water in data table. To find the volume of the pennies‚ subtract the final volume from the initial‚ record the data. Repeat this procedure twice more

claims made by the US government‚ regarding the spectrophotometric analysis of a copper penny hold true. Before 1982‚ the Lincoln cent contained 95% copper and 5% various mixtures of zinc and tin. As the cost of copper increased‚ the cost to produce the penny was more than the actual face value of the penny. This caused the US government to change the composition of the penny. The pennies we know today consist of a copper coating‚ which contains mostly zinc metal‚ and has a 2.5% mass. The contents

Copper and Zinc Composition Percentages in Pennies Introduction. The United States Mint sends copper and zinc to a fabricator‚ which creates coin-sized discs called planchets. The planchets undergo the coining press at the Mint where they are stamped as genuine United States legal tender coins. The purpose of this experiment is to determine the accuracy of the copper and zinc composition percentages in a random sampling of pennies. The penny was dissolved to make aqueous copper ions and four copper

A Penny Saved Is Two Pennies Wasted The United States of America‚ despite its relatively short life‚ is immersed in tradition. While some of these traditions are well-known and apparent‚ others are less obvious. The penny‚ our little copper one-cent piece littering change jars from coast to coast‚ is a tradition that‚ while seemingly harmless‚ is a great burden to our country. Due to the lost profits in the creation of today’s one-cent piece and using the models of previous successful countries

For gold coins‚ soaking in very hot soapy water works the best. For old pennies‚ soak the coin in vinegar for at least 24 hours. For bronze coins — usually ancient coins — soak in distilled water (the minerals in tap water can further taint the coin’s surface if soaking for a long time) or olive oil — olive oil is a very gentle way to clean coins‚ but you may need to soak them for several weeks. Silver‚ copper‚ and nickel-clad coins can be soaked in distilled water or‚ to remove tough

Percent Composition of a Penny Background Information: Post-1983 pennies have a copper jacket and a zinc core. We hope to determine the percent composition of these two metals. This will be done by reacting the zinc with hydrochloric acid to form zinc ions in a single replacement reaction. The acid reacts with the zinc but not copper. The reaction of zinc metal with the hydrochloric acid (HCl) produces zinc chloride and hydrogen gas. Safety: Wear your safety goggles and apron If you spill Hydrochloric

pockets or purses for a few pennies? All they have is just unwanted weight to their pockets and purses. Few people now a days still bend down to pick up a penny off the sidewalk. Whether its the superstions of “luck” or just another penny to add into their collection. Only traditions explain our stubborn attachment to our pennies. However‚ pennies should not be abolished‚ they are beneficial to us in every days life. For example‚ people who have thousands of pennies saved up from over the years
