Major Equations

At Magnesium Electrode : Mg Mg2+ + 2e-

At Copper Electrode : 2H + 2e- H2
Overall Equation :Mg + 2H Mg2+ + H2

Mechanism
Valance electrons from magnesium atoms in magnesium electrode flow to
copper electrode via wire since the magnesium atoms is ionised. At copper
electrode, the electrons was accepted by hydrogen ions that present in the
sulphuric acid solution to become hydrogen gas. The movement of electrons
from magnesium electrode to copper electrode will complete the circuit and
produces electricity. The generated electricity is used to power the engine.

UNIQUE FEATURES PROJECT COST

Car can carry load (water) up to
500 mL efficiently.
Car is light weight.
Car consumes less current to move
further distance.
Car has bend shape structure in
front to hit the ball.
Car got a structure
to place the load.

ENVIRONMENTAL & SAFETY WINNING STRATEGY

 Using goggles, gloves and mask
during experiments.
Disposing waste chemicals safely.
Using gas chamber when diluting
concentrated acid.
