Is a penny soluble in water?

Asked by princess0531

Answer (2)

Soluble would mean that it is able to be dissolved, so no; a penny is not soluble in water

A penny is not soluble in water because it is primarily made of zinc or copper, both of which do not dissolve well in water. The properties of these metals prevent them from interacting with water molecules in a way that leads to dissolution. Therefore, pennies remain as solid objects when placed in water.
