The air bubble didn't let the acid through thats pretty neat

In college (50+ yrs ago) chem lab, me and my buddy placed a penny in a 10 ml beaker + 5 ml conc HNO3 under the hood for 60-70 seconds. Then hit it with a shot of di water to stop the reaction. The penny was then removed, rinsed off and was now the thickness, diameter and weight of a dime. This was then scaled up. The vending machines and pay phones were filled with pennies for a couple months…..

It's a displacement reaction. Copper being more reactive than silver displaces the latter out of solution as metallic silver which is seen here to grow as crystals on the copper penny. It's classified as a redox reaction. Later the solution around the penny would turn blue due to formation of copper(II)sulfate

You could have also used copper wiring. This is because water is aqueous and the AgNO3 forms silver precipitates along the edge of the copper. What he didnt show was that at the end, the little pieces of silver on the edges of the penny can actually come off and be dried.

Fun fact for non-Canadians: A few years back, we removed the penny country wide. If you’re paying in cash, all prices are rounded up or down to the nearest .05 (nickel).

i _FREAKING_ love science!! this is just like those little paper trees or square cubes you place in a small tray of mystery liquid, leave sit for a few days and VOILA! crystals start growing all over them!! sometimes the crystal is even colored when the base item has veins of dye all over it too!! so pretty.. and really fun to watch the crystals grow over the next few days, especially for and with kids 😄❤️💎

Science guy here: the crystallization occurs as a reaction to sub zero appearing near the penny.

There’s a little bit of American in every Canadian penny.

I like that one air bubble that protected a tiny spot of the penny

dont know what the penny is made of, but it reacts with the AgNO3 by switching places with the silver (Ag) because the metal in the penny is more reactive than silver, the silver is separated from the compound and sets on the surface of the penny in case anyone was curious

Not gonna lie my eyes are feeling blessed

You got some really cool shots there. Interesting how the penny looked unchanged where the bubble was

Who would have thought, every day you learn something new, I had no idea that when sodium nitrate comes into contact with copper on water, it would react and proceed to freeze the molecules around the penny.

the little circle in the ring of dots around the edge of the penny is the place where you stick a needle or pin to reset the penny.

Wow, you made this all quiet and asmr, I love it! It's beautiful and so soothing and just very delightful. 😊
