Home Chemistry 1 – Follow up
So just posting a follow up to the experiment with a photo of the test tubes.
So we can see From this that the tube on the far left still has Zinc, the one on the Far right has Copper. The centre tube did have the Magnesium, but this is now Magnesium Acetate.
So an interesting experiment.
Testing for Acetate
For those taking a more scientific approach and who may want to test to confirm what is produced the following from Robolab may be useful.
Further reading
I have started a thread on Scienceforums to ask how to decontaminate the other metals. They may need this but it would be good practice not to simply remove from test tubes, leave to dry and put back in the original containers.
