Crummy Details

Well this is what i did for my epxeriment
- researched info
- bought materials
- followed my method
- got information to back up my results

Well the vingear lost weight because the acetic acid int he vingear reacted with the copper oxide and issolved it.
The Bleach formed all those green spots which is actually called verdigris because the chemical sodium hypochlorite reacted with the copper
THe lemon coppers los weight becuase the citric acid dissolved the copper oxide
The water did nothing

So thata just a sum up

Well you guys have seen the pics so that all from me

Awesome fungul pics

Look the cool fungus in hte garbage bag. Thank god we had plastic gloves. It felt rubbery. I named that white one with black spots cow. And i named the grey one cloud.

Pictures finally after 4 weeks

This is one of the copper pipes which were in the bleach solution. You can see all that powdersish spots on its and inside it too




















Look the spots are pretty much falling off

This is the copper pipe in the vinegar solution. it looks smooth inside the cup

Look how blue the vingear solution has gotten

This is all that digusting fungus./ bacteria which grew in the lemon solution

Whoops

I know I still haven't posted the pics. I will do it soon. i juts need to find the cmaera that i used. Well I was searching up info from my experiment and I have bad and good news. Well all the materials are supposed to react with the copper. However they react differently

The bleach contains Sodium hypochlorite which is a chemical compound consisting of sodium, oxygen and chlorine. This is really reactive with metals. When in prescence with copper it forms copper chloride. This is a type of verdigris which is the the green powdery stuff that formed.

The vingear reacts differently as it actually cleans the copper. It contains this acid which actually gets rid of the copper oxide which has formed. See when i started the epxeriment the copper had already oxidized because it was exposed to oxygen. But when I got copper pipes out of the solution it had become shiny because the copper oxide had disoolved. This is why the solution had turned bluey. Because the dissolved copper oxide had mixed with the vinegar solution which had water in it. Lemon is also acts similaryliy to vinegar i think. But I'm not really sure

I scrpaed off the greenish stuff ont he copper pipes which had been in the bleach solution. When I scraped it off the copper was shiny. I think because I also scraped off the copper oxide which is a browny colour. In one of my pipes there was also a hole.
