Observations of Electrolyzed Vinegar After Settling

I make some quick observations of vinegar after settling for a day and a half.





My Observations:

Pure vinegar remains cloudy(about like grapefruit juice) after one and a half days.

Some white/chalky particulate settled to the bottom. The volume of the settled substance was similar to the baking soda and vinegar recipe I tried earlier.

The plates have some white substance on them, about like the brown particulate found on the plates after Sodium Hydroxide and also Baking Soda.

CLR removes the white substance, but about half as fast as the brown particulate.

Brown Particulate Comparison between Baking Soda and Baking Soda w/ Vinegar

I compare the brown particulate that accumulates from hydroxy production between using baking soda and baking soda with vinegar as the electrolytes.



My Observations:

The baking soda only has considerably more brown particulate than the mix of baking soda and vinegar.

The baking soda only particulate is slightly darker than the mix.

I think someone is right about Baking Soda and vinegar as a mix. Playing with the receipe should yield better results.

Electrolysis Testing with Only Distilled White Vinegar

I had a YouTube viewer comment that vinegar is being used in full concentration by folks, so I decided it was worth a test to see how it performs.



My Observations:

I think to use vinegar it should be in a higher concentration than the 5% variety found at the supermarket.

It makes a lot of cloudy light yellow-green particulate

It makes more foam than other electrolytes, but not necessarily enough to render it unusable.

Production is moderate, but the Amp draw is very low.

The electrolyte didn't reach nearly the same temperature as baking soda or sodium hydroxide.

Electrolysis Test; Baking Soda, Vinegar & Distilled Water

I conduct an electrolysis test using baking soda and vinegar in distilled water to observe the formation of brown particulate.



I observe that there is increased surface tension for the early portion of the test which slightly increases the number of bubbles sitting on the surface. This dissipates during the test.

Brown particulate formation is retarded by approximately half plus individual particles are much smaller compared to just baking soda.

Electrolysis Test of Vinegar in Distilled Water

I conduct a series of tests to determine the suitability of vinegar as an electrolyte in distilled water.



I determine that vinegar is too diluted to be useful as an electrolyte for hydroxy production by itself.
