Not many people wondered what would happen if the egg was put in vinegar. This action can be carried out with children of primary and secondary school. Then your crumbs will sparkle with knowledge in the field of chemistry, as well as in the lessons of the surrounding world. It is time not to think, but to experiment with eggs and vinegar. Instructions in our article.
What will be needed for the experiment
For this experiment you need to have two chicken eggs on hand. Although amazing properties you will observe only one of them. But you will need the second for comparison. In our experience, there were two brown eggs. You will also need a glass, but they also need to use two. And, of course, a bottle of table vinegar. An amazing experiment with vinegar and an egg is low-cost and budget. This is its main advantage. The two eggs you take for the experience should be the same in color and size. And, in general, they should not differ from each other. The main thing is that they fit in size into the glasses you prepared. Check that the test eggs are intact, without any chips or cracks.
Experiment with egg and vinegar. Stage One: Preparatory
The first glass is filled with ordinary tap water. But not to the brim, as when the egg is immersed in a glass, the contents will spill out. To prevent this, fill 2/3 cup of liquid. You fill the second vessel with vinegar in the same proportions.
Stage Two: Experimental
We begin the experiment with egg and vinegar. You immerse the first fruit in a glass of water, and the second in dishes with vinegar. An egg in a glass of water is necessary in order to compare the changes and transformations that have occurred with what is in vinegar. Do not regret another instance, as the experience with the egg and vinegar will show the difference and changes with them in the first minute.
Stage Three: Observation
Chicken egg in acid instantly covered with small bubbles. After 10 minutes, it begins to somehow strangely oscillate in a glass. And then it completely pops up to the surface of vinegar in the vessel. While in a glass with acid a chemical reaction occurs with an egg, in a bowl of water there is absolute peace. The egg just lies at the bottom of the glass. What is happening in a glass of vinegar is very interesting to watch. You just look at how beautiful the egg looks, covered with small bubbles that periodically float to the surface. The egg and vinegar experiment can be done for a long time. True, after two hours it no longer looks as beautiful as at the beginning of the experiment. A brown stain formed on the surface of vinegar.
Stage Four: Observation after 12 hours
Our curiosity has not disappeared, so we continue the experiment with egg and vinegar. After 12 - 15 hours, the situation did not change much. The brown spot has become more saturated, the foam on the surface of vinegar has become even thicker, and the bubbles covering the egg have increased in size. Where do you think the brown spot came from? Yes, yes, this is that brown egg shell.
Stage Five: Observation after 20 hours
So the moment has come when you can remove the eggs from the dishes with liquids. Chicken fruit, which was in a glass of water, outwardly, in our opinion, has not changed. You can not say about the egg, which was in acetic acid. Attention! It is necessary to extract this egg from vinegar using improvised means, whether it be a spoon or large tongs. Pay attention to what properties it has acquired. The remains of the brown shell can be erased with a finger, it has become very soft. Wash it under a stream of clean water. And now, it is not at all what 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 hopper. But do not rush to beat him to the floor. The changes with the egg went amazing.
Step Six: Discovering New Features in Acetic Egg
Our egg has become resilient, resilient and translucent. This means that you can make a unique nightlight out of it. Since it has become translucent, if you shine a flashlight into an egg, you can see how the yolk moves in it. If there is a great desire, then you can even make a musical light show to surprise your friends at one of the 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 extra LEDs with dark electrical tape or with something suitable that is at your fingertips. Lay the egg on open light bulbs and enjoy the effect.
If tired of color music
There will come a moment when you want to do something new and unusual with this egg, then you can test it for strength. If it is thrown to a small height above the surface, then the egg, due to its elasticity, will slightly bounce off the landing site for short distances. Such a game can be continued until the shell breaks. The protective film of the bounce egg turned out to be quite dense. The yolk was no different from ordinary, except for the pungent smell of vinegar.
An amazing experiment with vinegar and an egg: how to make it rubber
This experience will last for three days. In the same way, take a chicken egg, immerse it in acetic acid, leave for three days. After a few days, you similarly use the tools to extract an egg from food grade acetic acid. It will not be as elastic and elastic as the egg was in the main experiment. But in this case, it will not be able to burst.
Easter egg
Thus, Orthodox traditions have developed that it is customary to paint chicken eggs on a light Easter holiday. 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 part of the carbon to the surface (just in the form of the film that we observed on the surface of vinegar). But staining the egg does not last 20 hours, but only a few minutes. Due to this, the surface of the shell becomes slightly loose, particles of paint fall into the micro-holes, thereby the egg acquires the color we need.
Study science, set up experiments and always remember that chemical experiments are carried out under the supervision of adults and in suits of chemical protection.
