Not many people thought about what would happen if an egg was put in vinegar. This activity can be done with elementary and middle school children. Then your crumbs will shine with knowledge in the field of chemistry, as well as in the lessons of the world around. It is time not to think, but to experiment with egg and vinegar. Instructions in our article.
What you need for the experiment
For this experiment, you need to have two chicken eggs on hand. Although you will observe amazing properties only on 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 you also need to use two of them. 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 experiment should be the same color and size. And, in general, they should not differ from each other in any way. The main thing is that they fit into the glasses you have 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 the usu altap water. But not to the brim, because when the egg is immersed in a glass, the contents will pour out. To prevent this from happening, fill 2/3 cup with liquid. You fill the second vessel with vinegar in the same proportions.
Stage Two: Experimental
Start experiment with egg and vinegar. You immerse the first fruit in a glass of water, and the second in a bowl of vinegar. An egg in a glass of water is necessary in order to compare the changes and transformations that have taken place with that in vinegar. Don't be stingy with another copy, as experimenting with egg and vinegar will show the difference and change with them in the first minute.
Step Three: Observation
Chicken egg in acid instantly covered with small bubbles. After 10 minutes, it begins to somehow strangely fluctuate in a glass. And then it floats to the surface of the vinegar in the vessel. While in a glass of acid there is a chemical reaction with an egg, in a bowl of water there is absolute peace. The egg just lies at the bottom of the glass. What happens in a glass of vinegar is very interesting to watch. 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 be done for a long time. True, after two hours it does not look as beautiful as at the beginning of the experiment. A brown stain has formed on the surface of the vinegar.
Stage Four: Observation 12 hours later
Ourcuriosity has not disappeared, so we continue the experiment with an egg and vinegar. After 12-15 hours the situation did not change much. The brown stain deepened, the foam on the surface of the vinegar thickened, and the bubbles covering the egg grew larger. Where do you think the brown spot came from? Yes, yes, this is the same brown egg shell.
Stage Five: Observation 20 Hours Later
The moment has come when you can take eggs out of dishes with liquids. The chicken fruit, which was in a glass of water, outwardly, in our opinion, has not changed in any way. What can not be said about the egg, which was in acetic acid. Attention! It is necessary to extract this egg from vinegar with the help of 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 wiped off with your finger, it has become very soft. Rinse it under running clean water. And now, it is not at all 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 jumper. But do not rush to beat him on the floor. The changes with the egg have been amazing.
Stage six: discovering new functions for the vinegar egg
Our egg has become elastic, 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 there is a great desire, then you can even domusical light show to surprise your friends at one of the house parties. In our opinion, it looks very beautiful and unusual.
How to make color music
For this invention you will need a music speaker with color music. Cover the excess LEDs with dark duct tape or whatever you have on hand. Place the egg on the open bulbs and enjoy the effect.
If you are tired of color music
The moment will come when you want to do something new and unusual with this egg, then you can test it for strength. If it is tossed to a small height above the surface, then the egg, due to its elasticity, will slightly bounce off the landing site for short distances. This game can be continued until the shell breaks through. The protective film of the jumping egg turned out to be quite dense. The yolk was no different from the usual, except for the strong smell of vinegar.
Amazing experiment with vinegar and egg: how to make it rubber
This experience will last for three days. In the same way, you take a chicken egg, immerse it in acetic acid, leave it for three days. A few days later, you use the same tools to extract the egg from food acetic acid. It will no longer be as resilient and elastic as the egg was in the main experiment. But in this case, it cannot burst.
Easter Egg
This is how the Orthodox traditionsIt is customary to paint chicken eggs on the bright holiday of Easter. Dye is added to a glass of hot water. Depending on the method of preparation, 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 last 20 hours, but only a few minutes. Due to this, the surface of the shell becomes slightly loose, particles of paint fall into micro-holes, thereby the egg acquires the color we need.
Study science, experiment and always remember that chemistry experiments are done under adult supervision and in chemical protection suits.
