  • @11to Yup XD, thats the brown gas.

  • @mewrox99 He seems to wear the goggles to protect his hands.

  • NO2 is deadly, I hope he was using a fume duct.

  • wouldnt this be making copper (II) nitrate and Zinc nitrate?

  • looks like your using a penny that is zinc core and only plated with copper

  • wow that was cool!!!!!!

  • @FortNikitaBullion Canadian penny in 1996 and before was 98% copper and the rest is tin. From 1997 to 2000, it is copper coated zinc. 2001 until now, it is copper coated steel.

  • yay canada

  • Wow he uses 50% nitric with no gloves and goggles and produces a significant amount of NO2 in a room full of people. Not my idea of good lab safety
