@PhilPurnell @AndrewR_Physics They came from the same piggy bank and had approximately the same amount of tarnish. That was controlled enough for me in this instance! 😂

Time for the results!

Some home science today. Which is the best liquid to clean a coin?

[Horsforth Chemistry @chemhorsforth]

So grab some mint sauce for all your metal cleaning requirements (smells quite pleasant too!)

[Horsforth Chemistry @chemhorsforth]

Most had removed dirt and tarnish to some degree. But by far the greatest in this experiment was mint sauce!

Any guesses, will post the results later!

The list (in order!)
Pepsi, vinegar, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, chilli sauce, white wine, ketchup, milk, yazoo, mint sauce, apple juice and tonic water.

The present time seems like the perfect point to resurrect this twitter account. I’m not going to talk about the elephant in the room. Instead here’s a daffodil from my own garden to brighten up your timeline!
(N.B. Chemistry will follow!) Retweets and follows appreciated.

In the @MartianMovie, they got crucial science right, while enhancing the story by fictionalizing the science that remained.

The @MartianMovie may be the first SciFi blockbuster — ever — in which nobody dies.
