we decided to do the the burning money lab. My partner Alex came up with the idea of doing just for fun to see if it would work.We first got a beaker and created a solution of around 50 ml of water, a few squirts of ethanol, and a pinch of salt. The salt is there to help produce a visible flame.Since we hoped to create a flame, we had to go outside to preform the lab. We held the dollar with a pair of thongs and then drenched it inside the solution.
Then after doing all that we where able to go out side and lite the dollar bill on fire.

The first try didn't work because we where outside and we didn't get to see the flames.
We also changed our location to the teacher's kitchen in order to easily produce a flame from the lighter.

his time, we were actually able to set the dollar on fire. The glorious flame spread across the entire dollar. We thought we were going to be successful. However, the fire continued to burn and started to consume the dollar. The fire was suppose to just disappear and leave the dollar undamaged.
This lab was not successful at all. I was really confident, at first, that we would complete this lab successfully with out any troubles. I still thought it looked cool seeing the dollar being consumed by fire. The good thing about this was that it wasn't my dollar.
