Why does an egg in vinegar become rubbery? He took the egg and poured vinegar over it. When I heard about the reason, I immediately did the same! What to prepare and how to make a glowing egg

Did you know that if you place an egg in vinegar for two days, the shell will dissolve and the egg will become elastic. Under the influence of vinegar, the calcium that makes up the shell dissolves and disappears in the form of gas bubbles. The result is a funny egg that looks like jelly. If you experiment with a boiled egg, it will become elastic, like a rubber ball.

Pour table vinegar (9%) into a transparent glass and lower a chicken egg into it. Carbon dioxide immediately begins to be released from the surface of the egg.

Bird eggshells are made up of 90 percent calcium carbonate. Therefore, when interacting with acid, it begins to disintegrate, releasing CO2.

After 12 - 15 hours we see what happened. Calcium from the surface of the egg has dissolved. Only the film between the shell and the egg remained intact.

Remove the egg from the vinegar and rinse under running water.

The egg increased slightly in size as it was saturated with vinegar.

There is no shell and you can play with the egg like a ball. The film is very thin, and therefore can tear if handled carelessly.

Now this rubber egg can be illuminated through.

Attention: eating this egg is prohibited!

7. Ready eggs look very beautiful under ultraviolet light. In addition, they are very elastic and bouncy. But you need to play with them carefully, because they can burst.

VIDEO DESCRIPTION

Scientific explanation of egg experiments

• Why does an egg become rubbery and where does the shell go?

The shell of an egg is made of a substance called calcium carbonate. Vinegar is an acid that can completely dissolve it.

The process that occurs when vinegar comes into contact with eggshells is called decalcification.

It takes at least 24 hours for the shells to dissolve.

• Why do eggs glow?

They are saturated with paint, which gradually penetrates them as the shell dissolves. The paint of the markers is very saturated, which is why it appears under the glow of an ultraviolet lamp.

Not many people have thought about what will happen if you put an egg in vinegar. This activity can be done with primary and secondary school children. Then your little ones will show off their knowledge in the field of chemistry, as well as in lessons about the world around them. It's time not to think, but to conduct an experiment with eggs and vinegar. Instructions in our article.

What will you need for the experiment?

For this experiment you will need to have two chicken eggs on hand. Although you will only observe amazing properties in one of them. But you will need the second one for comparison. In our experience there were two brown eggs. You will also need a glass, but you also need to use two of them. And, of course, a bottle of Amazing Vinegar and Egg is low-cost and budget-friendly. This is its main advantage. The two eggs you take for the experiment must be the same color and size. And, in general, they should not be any different from each other. The main thing is that they fit into the glasses you prepared. Check that the experimental eggs are intact, without any chips or cracks.

and vinegar. Stage one: preparatory

Fill the first glass with regular tap water. But not to the brim, since when the egg is immersed in the glass, the contents will spill out. To prevent this from happening, fill 2/3 of the glass with liquid. You fill the second vessel with vinegar in the same proportions.

Stage two: experimental

We start with vinegar. You immerse the first fruit in a glass of water, and the second in a bowl with vinegar. An egg in a glass of water is necessary in order to compare the changes and transformations that have occurred with that in vinegar. Do not regret one more copy, since the experiment with egg and vinegar will show the difference and changes with them in the first minute.

Stage three: observation

The chicken egg in acid instantly became covered with small bubbles. After 10 minutes it begins to fluctuate strangely in the glass. And then it completely floats to the surface of the vinegar in the vessel. While in a glass with acid a chemical reaction with an egg occurs, in a glass with water there is absolute peace. The egg just lies at the bottom of the glass. It is very interesting to observe what happens in a glass of vinegar. Just take a closer look at how beautiful the egg looks, covered with small bubbles that periodically float to the surface. The experiment with egg and vinegar can take a long time. True, after two hours it no longer looks as beautiful as at the beginning of the experiment. A brown stain has formed on the surface of the vinegar.

Stage four: observation after 12 hours

Our curiosity has not disappeared anywhere, so we continue the experiment with egg and vinegar. After 12 - 15 hours the situation has not changed much. The brown spot acquired a deeper hue, the foam on the surface of the vinegar became even thicker, and the bubbles covering the egg increased in size. Where do you think the brown spot came from? Yes, yes, this is the same brown egg shell.

Stage five: observation after 20 hours

Now the moment has come when you can remove eggs from dishes with liquids. The chicken fetus, which was in a glass of water, did not change in appearance, in our opinion. The same cannot be said about the egg, which was in acetic acid. Attention! It is necessary to remove this egg from vinegar using available means, be it a spoon or large tongs. Notice what properties it has acquired. The remains of the brown shell can be wiped off with your finger; it has become very soft. Wash it under running clean water. And now, it is no longer the same as it was at the beginning of our experiment. Only the shape of this object will remind you of the egg. Now it has turned into a bouncy thing. But don’t rush to hit it on the floor. The changes with the egg were amazing.

Stage six: discovery of new functions in the vinegar egg

Our egg has become firm, elastic and translucent. This means that you can make a unique night light out of it. Since it has become translucent, if you shine a flashlight into the egg, you can see how the yolk moves in it. If you really want, you can even create a musical light show to surprise your friends at one of your home parties. In our opinion, it looks very beautiful and unusual.

How to make color music

For this invention you will need a music column with color music. Cover the excess LEDs with dark electrical tape or whatever you have on hand. Place the egg on the open bulbs and enjoy the effect.

If you're tired of color music

The moment will come when you want to do something new and unusual with this egg, then you can test its strength. If it is thrown to a small height above the surface, then the egg, due to its elasticity, will slightly bounce from the landing site over short distances. This game can be continued until the shell breaks through. The protective film of the bouncy egg turned out to be quite dense. The yolk was no different from normal, except for the strong smell of vinegar.

An amazing experiment with vinegar and egg: how to make it rubbery

This experience will last for three days. In the same way, take a chicken egg, immerse it in acetic acid, and leave it for three days. After a few days, you use tools to extract the egg from food-grade acetic acid in the same way. It will no longer be as resilient and elastic as the egg was in the main experiment. But in this case it will not be able to burst.

Easter egg

Orthodox traditions have developed so that on the bright holiday of Easter it is customary to paint chicken eggs. Dye is added to a glass of hot water. Depending on the cooking method, table vinegar is added in the same way. It is necessary in order to make the egg shell loose, that is, to release some of the carbon to the surface (just in the form of the film that we observed on the surface of vinegar). But coloring an egg does not take 20 hours, but only a few minutes. Due to this, the surface of the shell becomes slightly loose, paint particles fall into the microholes, thereby the egg acquires the color we need.

Study science, do experiments, and always remember that chemical experiments are carried out under adult supervision and in chemical protective suits.

An ordinary chicken egg can glow, jump, and shed its shell! If you have any doubts about this, I hasten to dispel them...

What you will see now is a great idea for spending exciting leisure time with children and never-growing older people. Absolutely everyone will love this egg trick!

Egg in vinegar

You will need

• 1 egg
• glass tumbler
• vinegar

If you place a chicken egg in vinegar, an amazing chemical reaction will occur. The acids contained in vinegar and the calcium that is so abundant in eggshells are a magical mixture! Watch the video and see for yourself. I was amazed, especially in the last minute of watching...

I really liked it when the shell started to bubble - the vinegar did its job! This happens 5-6 hours after you place the egg in a glass of vinegar, keep this information in mind when you are about to conduct a fascinating experiment.

How extraordinary does such an elastic rubber egg look if you shine it with a flashlight... Definitely! If you are inspired by this idea and also decide to entertain someone like this, I will be very grateful to you!
