| How Does Lemon Juice Conduct Electricity | | | | 3. Insert the paper clip about an inch in to the |
| Because lemon contain high concentration of salts, | | | | lemon. |
| these salts are in the form of solution ( dissolved | | | | 4. Insert a 6 inch piece of 18 gauge copper wire |
| in water or such called lemon juice ) & this is | | | | about an inch in to the lemon. (Make sure that the |
| electrolytes, & electrolytes have the ability to | | | | five metals are not touching inside the lemon). |
| conduct electricity. So very naturally lemon juice | | | | 5. Attach the lemon wires to the multitester wires |
| conduct electricity. A the bottom there is a | | | | & check for a reading. |
| description of how does lemon juice conduct | | | | 6. If the lemon passes the check by producing a |
| electricity. | | | | reading, try attaching the lemon wires to the |
| You should know that Lemon juice is acidic in | | | | metal base of the light bulb. |
| nature. | | | | 7. If the light bulb doesn't light, prepare more |
| These are the particles that conduct current | | | | lemons as in steps 1-3, & attach the lemons |
| thorugh the liquid - not as well as metals, but well . | | | | to each other by stringing them in a series, |
| Acids dissociate in water in to conductive ions - a | | | | copper to copper & paperclip to paperclip. |
| positively & negatively charged ion. | | | | 8. Try the multitester again with the series of |
| Here is the Experiment on how does lemon juice | | | | lemons. |
| conduct electricity. | | | | 9. Try step 4 again. |
| Materials: Take these materials to conduct this | | | | 10. The light bulb doesn't always light, so don't get |
| test. | | | | frustrated. |
| * 18 gauge copper wire | | | | These are the particles that conduct current |
| * wire cutters | | | | thorugh the liquid - not as well as metals, but well |
| * paper clips | | | | enough. |
| * lemons | | | | Acids dissociate in water in to conductive ions - a |
| * multitester | | | | positively & negatively charged ion. |
| * small flashlight bulb | | | | So the gist is that lemon juice is acidic and it |
| Procedure: of how lemon juice conduct electricity. | | | | make positive and negative ions after getting |
| Lemon juice is acid. | | | | dissolve into water thereby lemon juice conduct |
| 1. Roll a lemon to get the juices moving inside. | | | | electricity. |
| 2. Straighten a paperclip. | | | | |
