Hey experimentalists ! Wish you enjoyed the new video !
WARNING : This experiment deals with highly corrosive Hydrogen peroxide. Wear gloves.
In this video i will show you how to make a blue solution of Copper(II) acetate from copper Pennies (Cu), Vinegar (CH3COOH) and Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Make a solution of 60ml of vinegar and 30ml of Hydrogen peroxide. Now you have to boil it down. Pour it into the beaker and drop the pennies into the beaker. The reaction takes about 15 minutes to finish. It turns out to have a nice blue color. The blue color is from the Cu2+ ions.
The equation : CH3COOH+H2O2+Cu = Cu(CH3COO)2+H2O+O2
I will use the Copper(II) acetate for electroplating in the upcoming video.
Thanks for watching, please subscribe, rate and comment !

ok i know that you can make a solar cell by heating copper and the film thats left on it is a conductor but i was wondering if this would strip off that conductor layer to be used for solar power and coat something else like maybe bio plastic.

awesome,cant wait to try it

@ChemExperimentalist ive had some problems with uploading but today i will upload on how to make and test popular gases

where did you get the 35% hydrogen peroxide

@thegodofchemistry It´s funny because you can get 30 and 35% stuff very easily in almost all hardware stores here in Slovakia... And you, when are you going to upload a new video ? Cant wait ! :)

I have tried this chemical experiment many times and this is a good experiment for impressing your parents and a good chemistry lesson for a class or a lecture.

@danpluswife You´re right !

i think when you boil the hydrogen peroxide you just decompose it please correct me.

@thegodofchemistry If you want, just let it evaporate to get nice and big crystals as i said in the video. But one good way how to dry chemicals is to use a dessicator bag. It´s much faster. I will propably do a video on it in the future if you want...
