My Dodgy Results

Omg measuring the copper pipes was disgusting
All of the Lemon Samples had this massive layer of fungus and bacteria on the top
I'll post the pictures soon
It was soo gross

Well for my Bleach result i do not know if they are legit because remeber how in my earlier posts i showed you that these bluey black powdery spot had formed. Well when I was observing I touched it and it came off straight away. So then I actually scraped some off and not only did the powdery stuff go but some of the copper piper brokes off and I could see a new shiny layer of copper.

The results I gave was the weight including the powdery stuff. I'm not sure if the powdery stuff is part of the degradation of the copper pipe. So maybe I should scrape it all off and then measured the pipe because then I would get totally different results.

Draft Results

Well Today I measured my Copper pipes
Here are the result
Sample 1 water - first measurement = 14.5g
- 2nd measurement = 14.6g
Sample 1 Lemon - First measurement = 14.3g
- 2nd measurement = 14.5g
Sample 1 Vinger - First measurement = 15.1g
- 2nd Measurement = 14.9g
Sample 1 Bleach - 1st meas = 14.6g
- 2nd meas = 15.8g

Sample 2 Water - 1st meas = 14.4g
- 2nd meas = 14.5g
Sample 2 Lemon - 1st meas = 14.2g
- 2nd meas = 14.3g
Sample 2 Vinegar - 1st meas = 15.1g
- 2nd meas = 14.9g
Sample 2 Bleach - 1st meas = 14.4g
- 2nd meas = 17.9g

Sample 3 Water - 1st meas = 14.3g
- 2nd meas = 14.4g
Sample 3 Lemon - 1st meas = 14.3g
- 2nd meas = 14.4g
Sample 3 Vinegar - 1st meas = 14.4g
- 2nd meas = 14.2g
Sample 3 Bleach - 1st meas - 14.3g
- 2nd meas = 17.5g

Repete of Method

First my dad cut the copper pipe into 5 cm length sections with a saw. He cut 12 portions. I then labelled the clear plastic cups ,which were all the same size, with the names of the different solutions. The different solutions are the water and vingear, water and lemon juice, water and bleach and just water. I need 12 cups because it have to repete the experiment three times. to make it fair.

I then measured the water and lemon juice with a tablespoon. I put 3 tablespoons of water and three tablespoons of lemon juice. I also used a neurofen dropper to make it exact. I repeted this with the bleach and vinegar solution. For the cup with just water i put 6 tablespoons of water. The above steps were then repeted three times.

before I put the copper pipe sections in each cup. I measured each copper pipe section first. I then put one copper pipe section in each cup. i then put the cups in the chocolate boxes so that they wouldn't be tipped over as easily. They are all stored in the cubby shelf of my cupboard. After 4 weeks I am planning on measuring the copper pipes gain to see the percentage difference in weight. I'm not sure if it will be a gain or loss in weight.

To get the exact measurements of the weigt i used this awesome electronic scale which measures a point of a gram. How cool is that.

This is my climograph

Three weeks since Experiment- Photos

I do not know i you guys can see it but in this bleach solution there some powdery blue spots forming on the copper pipe.

The liquid in the Vinegar solution has turned a shade of blue. I think this means that the copper is dissolving

Real Experiment Photos

I stored my cups in empty chocolate boxes so that they wouldn't fall easily. They looked more protected. And the boxes have been stored in the cubby spaces of my shelf. So its all good. Nothing has tipped over or fallen over yet. Yeah

This is my Scientific scale it meausres point of a gram. How awesome is that. Now I sound like a science geek. Oh well I've said more embarassing things in my life

The equipment that I used






- White King Bleach






- Lemon juice






- Vinegar






- Neurofen dropper - to get the exact amount






- Tablespoon measurer






- Scale that measure milligrams

Problemo Photos

Look the Washing powder will not dissolve in the water either

Crap look the Bi carbonate poder will not dissolve and mix in the water.

Trial experiment photos

This is what the copper pipe looked like in a week.
It has become brown

This is the trial bi carb solution. When I put mixin spoon in ti it felt so heavy

This is the trial expeirment with my vinegar solution.The Solution turned into a blueish colour in 3 days. Well, I did put alot of vinegar

My Maginificant Methods - hey looks its alliteration

So My new experiment is the 4 different solutions
water and lemon juice
water and vinegar
water and bleach
just Water
I've started my experiment and I'm going to upload some pictures
I said that before didn't i
Okay well I followed this method
1. Using a tablespoon, three tablespoons of lemon juice was poured into a clear cup
2. Using the tablespoon, three tabllespoons of water was poured into the same cup
3. In a different cup three tablespoons of bleach was poured
4. In that same cup three tablespoons of water was poured.
5. In a different cup 3 tablespoons of vinegar and 3 tablespoons of water poured
6. In another different cup 6 tablespoons of water was poured in a cup.
7. The cups were labelled with the different solutions and the above steps were repeated 3 more times.
8. The Copper pipe was cut into sections of 5 cm lengths
9. Each of copper sections' weight was measured and recorded
10. one section of copper pipe was placed in each cup full of solution
11. The above steps were repeated 3 times

So thats the method I followed and after four weeks I am going to again measure the weight of the copper pipe sections and see the percentage difference in weight. I'm not sure which pipes will gain or lose weight

It's now been almost 3 weeks

From my observations the cup full fo vinegar has turned blue. I think is because the copper is disolving.

The cups with the bleach solution have not changed colours but the copper pipes are get these blue solid powder spots. It looks like mutated chicken pox.

I can't even see the copper pipe the lemon solution

The pipe in the just water doesn't look like its made any physcial changes

I am going to upload the picture in 15 minutes
