AMAZING AND FUNNY EXPERIMENT WITH EGG AND VINEGAR 

• 456
  

When you soak a raw egg into a vinegar over two days, the 

vinegar will dissolve the eggshell. Eggshell is mostly 

made up of Calcuim carbonate and that is the reason it is 

hard and vinegar contains acetic acid. So when vinegar 

gets mixed with the egg, the acetic acid which is present 

in the vinegar dissolves the shell ofthe egg and the egg 

becomes elastic. The egg turns out to be a funny one which

 looks like a Jelly. And if you do this same experiment with a

 boiled egg, the shell gets dissolved and the egg becomes 

elastic like a rubber ball.

In this picture you can see that an egg is being kept

 inside a jar filled with vinegar.

Pour 9 % of vinegar into a transparent glass and place the 

egg inside the glass. You will find that there is carbon 

dioxide formed immediately on the surface of the egg.

90 % of the shell of a birds egg is of Calcuim Carbonate 

and when the interaction takes place with the acid, the 

shell begins to disintegrate releasing CO2.
After 12 to 15 hours you can see that the calcuim carbonate 

from the surface of the egg gets disappeared and only a film 

between the surface and the egg remains intact.

Then Remove the egg from the glass of vinegar and rinse the 

egg under the running water.

When you campare both the eggs as shown in the image, the 

egg which was kept in vinegar gets slightly increased in its size.

There are no shells on this egg and you can play with this egg. 

The flim is very thin and and it can get torn if it is not 

handled properly.
