    Amplifier DC Voltmeter in a Digital Multimeter  Copper Coins and Zinc-Galvanized Nails Procedure: 1. Set the multimeter to the “2V” (direct current) range. Turn it on. 2. To measure its voltage‚ insert the black and red probe to the potato. To increase the voltage‚ inject a coin and a zinc-galvanized nail to the said fruit‚ and connect it to the multimeter using the alligator clips‚ have the black probe to the zinc-galvanized nail while the red probe to the copper coin. 3. Read the value. b. Lighting

    My lab results were similar to my hypothesis. My hypothesis was that the densest object would be the rubber stopper. In the lab results the densest object was the penny and the rubber stopper was second. My hypothesis was switched. My hypothesis was correct when I stated that the macaroni was the third densest object. My hypothesis was also correct for the dice‚ but the bead and the dice share the same density. So they are both the fourth densest item. I was wrong with my hypothesis when I placed

    The Science of the Spud — a History of the Potato Battery Experiment There are hot potatoes‚ french fried potatoes‚ baked potatoes and scalloped potatoes. There are potato chips‚ potato pies and potato soufflés. Last‚ but not least‚ there’s the potato battery. Who on earth invented the electric spud? Why does it work? For that matter‚ why would anyone want to see if a potato could conduct electricity in the first place? Well‚ we may never be able to answer some of the questions this quirky experiment

    displacement through finding the percent composition of pennies. We will also once again be working with titration in this lab. We will titrate the solution until we are only left with a solid form which will tell us about the composition of pennies. Introduction: The weight of a post 1982 penny is 2.5 grams‚ and the percent of zinc is 97.5% leaving only 2.5% copper. The amount of Zinc in a post 1982 penny is 2.437 grams‚ and the amount of copper is 0.062 grams. Along with all of this we must know the

    This experiment was performed to demonstrate a cycle of chemical reactions involving copper. This lab will start with copper as a reactant in the first reaction through a series of five chemical forms of aqueous phase reactions and ending to calculate the percentage of recovered solid copper as a product in the last reaction of the experiment. The experiment resulted in a percent recovery from the cycle of copper reactions of an increase to 139%. . Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is

    this lab experiment was to learn about the different densities of different kinds of metal. We used pennies made out of different metals to determine this. After we gather the data‚ it’ll be used to determine the metal used. Hypothesis: In the lab‚ I expect that the pennies before 1982 would be heavier than those that are after 1983 because the metal was initially changed because the earlier pennies cost more to make. So I think that since the heavier metal was more expensive to make‚ then they just

    with acetic acid to produce a short amount of electricity. Even though it only conducts a small amount of voltage‚ we investigated and experimented on how it can produce more than usual without adding any other components on the project except zinc‚ copper‚ vinegar‚ or a unique container that can increase the voltage of our product. The zinc can produce electricity because of the chemical reaction it occurs when it is soaked in vinegar’s acetic acid‚ the zinc is dissolved to produce hydrogen gas; while
