This is a collection of general experiments and studies I performed during the period October 2015 to August 2018 when I was 10-13 years old:
- Protecting Iron Nails from Rust - Protecting Iron Nails from Rust Rust is an iron oxide, a usually red oxide formed by the reaction of iron and oxygen in the presence of water or air moisture. Several forms of rust are distinguishable both visually and by spectroscopy, and form under different circumstances. Given sufficient time, oxygen, and water, any iron mass will eventually convert entirely to rust and disintegrate. Surface rust is …
- Dropping Paper and Copper into Acids - Dropping Paper and Copper into Acids I was really curious about what would happen if you drop some paper and a weak metal (Copper) into strong acids. I only have 2 acids so that’s all I could do. Hydrochloric acid: Paper (A4 70 Grams) : The paper started to fizz. And after that, it ended …
- Mercury Compared to Water - Mercury Compared to Water This is going to be a short post because I’ll be comparing Mercury to Water. I’ll be trying to find out why mercury is 14 times denser than water: I poured all of my mercury into a petri dish and I have 22.70 grams of it. So I added the same …
- Pouring Super Glue into Borax 1 - Pouring Super Glue into Borax 1 Everyone has heard about slime from school glue. But I was thinking what would happen if you use superglue instead of just regular school glue. Glue has long flexible molecules in it called polymers. These polymer molecules slide past each other as a liquid. Borax in water forms an …
- How to make Rochelle Salt (Potassium Sodium Tartrate) - How to make Rochelle Salt (Potassium Sodium Tartrate) Rochelle Salt (Potassium Sodium Tartrate) a crystalline solid having a large piezoelectric effect (electric charge induced on its surfaces by mechanical deformation due to pressure, twisting, or bending), making it useful in sensitive acoustical and vibrational devices. In 1824, Sir David Brewster demonstrated piezoelectric effects using Rochelle salts, which led to him …

Then I moved to America December 2018
