The soap water that was used as the fuel for the fuel cell did as I had predicted. The impurities in the water slowed down the process, but it had the same characteristics as the tap water. Their lines are almost exactly the same, except for the actual values. This leads me to believe that the soap water is a more extreme case of that with the vinegar. I think that through the results, we can draw the conclusion that the soap water only hinders the actual hydrogen atoms getting to the electrodes. I was afraid that the bubbles might have affected the voltage, and maybe they did, but I did my best to try and pop all the ones that came in mixing the two liquids, the rest were natural that came after, and I decided to keep them, because they were part of the solution. In conclusion, the soap slows down the fuel cell voltage, but does not stop it like the vinegar does.
