Physical Description
Before:
Zinc
Was a silverish grey color
Tiny specks of Zinc
Iodine
Was a charcoal color
Broken up into smaller pieces
After:
Iodine
The iodine bonded with Vinegar
Zinc
The zinc did not react with the Vinegar and Iodine.
It stayed at the bottom of the beaker.

Balanced Equation
I2+Zn → I2Zn

My balanced equation is I2+Zn → I2Zn for the Zinc and Iodine lab. In this lab we mixed iodine with vinegar to make a liquid because iodine bonded with the vinegar and it then turned all into a liquid. We then mixed the solution with zinc which layed at the bottom of the beaker. When we tested to see what was mixed in the liquid with the Iodine, we found some Zinc that had bonded with Iodine. This is how we got the second part of the equation.
