how fast will diet coke dissolve a iron nail?
116095
The type of coke used (diet coke, regular coke, sprite, pepsi, ...) matters very little since they are all pretty much the same (excluding flavor).\nSodas are slighly acidic since they have carbon dioxide dissolved in them (which forms carbonic acid in water).  However, I seriously doubt there is enough of that weak acid in solution to dissolve an entire nail.  It may be corroded, but a single can (or even a 12 pack) I dont think will be able to dissolve it in any short period of time.\nAt some point, the effects of the acid reacting on the iron will probably be overshadowed by the effects of the water rusting the iron instread.

Mix baking soda (arm and hammer) and peroxide together to form a paste use this on your chompers and you'll notice a change in the first week I promise.

i remember a science project that i did. you should try something that no will think of. make the gysers with mentoes and diet coke. its very fun, hot, and interesting. but, its very messy. you could even do this do get out of school. put some diet coke in your mouth. then swallow it REALLY, REALLY fast with some mentoes. you'll throw up, then you'll get to go home.

If you crush your chips up, then weigh out an equal amount of each (say 10 grams), put the crushed chips in some acid solution (say 100mls of 10% hydrochloric acid) and shake them up good, the iron should come out into solution.\n\nThen you could measure it using whatever you have access to.\nAA, some kind of colorimeter...

Polystyrene is soluble in acetone. Dip in in nail polish remover.

Using a background in chemistry I believe that it would dissolve quickest in Hot water.

hey hun....i have red before to mix a little (tsp) of baking soda with a glass of water....i have never tried it before but if you get adventuress and try it let us know how it work out....love daisy

Drop Mg or Zn or something like that in HCl.  Or use electrolysis on water, but that's a lot harder.

6-STAGE ZINC PHOSPHATING SPRAY \n\n1. Alkaline pre-cleaning 1.0 minutes. 100-150 degrees F. \n\n2. Water rinse 1/2 minute. \n\n3. Titanium activator rinse, 1/2 minute 100 degrees F. \n\n4. Phosphating stage, 1 minute 100-150 degrees F. \n\n5. Water rinse 1/2 minute. \n\n6. Chromic acid rinse, 1/2 minute, 100-150 degrees F. \n\nThe chromic acid rinse stage was commonly used in the finishing industry, however the environmental regulations of today forbid the dumping of chromic acid into the sewer system.  When applied, diluted chromic acid is allowed to soak down into the defects in the phosphate crystal surface.  When it reaches the iron below the phosphate, it forms an inert layer which resists corrosion.  This phenomena is called passivation.

treat the mixture with sodium carbonate solution and then filter it to separate iron. the filtrate contains sodium benzoate. Liberate benzoic acid by just adding any mineral acid like sulfuric acid. Then u will get the crystals of benzoic acid. This can be filtered off

in a pinch, use 1/2 urine, 1/4 baking soda, 1/4 liquid smoke

Coke, not diet coke, contains high fructose corn syrup which is implicated in obesity as well as type 2 diabetes and hyperinsulinemia.  On the plus side, consumption of high fructose corn syrup with alcohol helps to reduce hangover the next day, by speeding the metabolism of alcohol.\n\nCaffeine, which is in both Coke and Diet Coke, has been shown to have positive mental and physical effects in moderate doses.\n\nCoke is also bad for your teeth.  It has phosphoric acid and probably some other acidic compounds that can take a toll on the enamel of your teeth.

u can use instant powder water

You might consider attaching a tube to the cap and have the tube extend down into the coke to the bottom of the bottle. That way the pressure inside will force the diet coke up the tube and out into the world for great enjoyment.

I am not sure about rust, but I know that each 12 ounce can of Coke contains 10 teaspoons of sugar.  (That is what my chemistry college professor told me).

Most liquids. Try putting a coin in a packet of Taco Bell Hot sauce. It will eat the tarnish and eventually the finish. I recommend trying it wish a penny.

An acid dip will do it. The problem being that the acid will eat the zinc too.  SO, use a dilute acid, such as muriatic. Which is dilute hydrochloric acid.  Nitric, and phosphoric acid would also work. Make sure you don't use a concentrated acid, as it is not needed, and can be quite dangerous.  There is a good chance that a commercial AC coil cleaning solution (inhibited dilute phosphoric I believe) would do the job.  Once the copper is removed, make sure to use tongs to remove the penny, and then rinse it well to stop the action of the acid.
