boiling water into the basin, covering the silverware completely. As you do this, you’ll notice a gentle fizzing sound, which means the reaction is underway.
5. How The Science Works While You Do Nothing
The process that unfolds in your basin is a simple chemical reaction known as ion exchange. The baking soda, aluminum foil, and boiling water create an electrolytic solution.
In this solution, the aluminum attracts the sulfur atoms away from the silver sulfide, effectively reversing the tarnish. As a result, the silver is left behind in its
