This is a cool experiment to try at home. Did you know you could make rubber eggs???

Vinegar eats Calcium and calcium is what the shell is when the opportunity it your bursting the skin of the Egg

Im curious Mr. Hawk, what if a person consume too much vinegar (like vinegar in salads, vinegar in pastas and spaghetti or vinegar in almost all food eaten) does it affect the calcium in ones body?
LikeLike
I think the calcium in the body won’t be affected since it’s not directly exposed to vinegar like this egg.

The shell is permeable allows air to go through and some moisture so the vinegar would eventually soak through into the egg and fill it up.it would be like a balloon filled with water.

Pickled eggs have been a favorite dish in America for many years. You will see them sold in bars quite often. They are usually in large gallon jars filled with a vinegar brine with a large amount of hot sauce added. The eggs are generally left for much more than two days and they are like hard boiled eggs with a vinegar/hot sauce flavor. Most people assume they were cooked and peeled but they were just raw eggs left to pickle. Yummy…

The egg will do the same thing if it is soaked in coke. Think what it does to our stomach. Also if you take a penny that is color dirty and put hot sause on it. The hot sause will clean the penny like it was new. Again think what it will do to your stomach.

Nothing would happen to your stomach! We have in our stomach HCL acid which is much stronger than vinegar and coke. However, if you have very large amounts of vinegar and coke, eventually it would burn going down the oesophagus, much like heartburn, but that would be a lot of coke!

Thankfully our stomachs are not made of copper or eggshell. They can handle hot sauce and coke and even vinegar quite easily.

Good thing our stomachs aren’t lined with coke, hot sauce or vinegar.

Why would you pour the vinegar into a 2nd jar only to transfer to the 1st jar containing the egg? Are you forbidden from pouring vinegar into the 1st jar directly? (Very Odd)

I guess so that the egg would stay on the level in the jar. If it rolls around, it might crack.

the egg is permeable, but has a protective membrane, witch the vinegar, when joined with it, made it stronger, like rubber, that membrane, is also what give it a long shelve life in the refrig.

Eggs contain something called “calcium carbonate”. This is what makes them hard. Vinegar is an acid known as acetic acid. When calcium carbonate (the egg) and acetic acid (the vinegar) combine, a chemical reaction takes place and carbon dioxide (a gas) is released. This is what the bubbles are made of. The chemical reaction keeps happening until all of the carbon in the egg is used up — it takes about a day. When you take the egg out of the vinegar it’s soft because all of the carbon floated out of the egg in those little bubbles. Since the egg shell is made out of “calcium carbonate” and is “eaten” up by the acidic vinegar. Then leaving behind only the inner membrane and giving the egg a rubbery feeling. The egg shell is almost completely see-through and squishy.
Immediately after we place the raw egg in the vinegar, bubbles start to form around it. After 24 hours the shell will be gone and portions of it will be floating on the surface. The egg remains intact because of the thin see-through membrane that is normally between the shell and the egg white. Also, the size of the egg has slightly increased.
This is what takes place in the transformation of the egg. To the best of my knowledge.

Nice way to pass the time on a cold day or night. Later see how much you can bounce the egg before it “cracks?” All-in-all this looks

When you submerge an egg in vinegar, the shell dissolves. Vinegar contains acetic acid, which breaks apart the solid calcium carbonate crystals that make up the eggshell into their calcium and carbonate parts. The calcium ions float free (calcium ions are atoms that are missing electrons), while the carbonate goes to make carbon dioxide—the bubbles that you see.

The shell of a egg is calcium carbonate. Vinegar is acetic acid. The calcium carbonate reacts with with the vinegar. The bouncy part is the membrane from inside the shell because the acid of the vinegar disolves the shell leaving the egg feeling like rubber.

Vinegar is an acid called acetic acid – CH3COOH – and white vinegar from the grocery store is usually about 5% acetic acid and 95% water. Egg shells are made up of calcium carbonate. The vinegar reacts with the calcium carbonate by breaking the chemical into its calcium and carbonate parts (in simplest terms). The calcium part floats around in the solution while the carbonate part reacts to form the carbon dioxide bubbles that you see. You should actually change the vinegar after 2 days then put fresh vinegar in the jar and leave it set for another week.

Acetic acid( vinegar) dissolves the calcium carbonate that makes up the majority of the shell. (there’s some phosphorous, also). As the vinegar reaches the thin membrane under the shell, some passes through the membrane and starts to ” denature” or chemically change the ALBUMIN, or egg white. ALBUMIN is a protein, and vinegar, or any acid for that matter, will act on it to turn it into some other substance, which in this case is the ” rubber”y egg white. The yolk, having sulfur and other elements, isn’t quite as affected, but it does change somewhat.
