Experiment 2: Chalk and vinegar
Materials
• 1 piece of chalk
• 3 tablespoons of vinegar (of any type)
• Spoon or straw to apply vinegar in drops to the edge of the chalk
Procedure
• Break the chalk in the middle to create a sharp, clean edge. If the piece is too small to
break, scrape one end to produce a relatively distinct edge.
• Add the vinegar, one drop at a time, onto a sharp edge of the chalk.
• Observe what happens as the drops are applied.
• After applying 15 drops, observe how the edge of the chalk appears now relative to how
it started.

Using this information answer the question. Thanks.
