Experiment procedure

Title: The bouncy egg
Question: will the egg crack or will it bounce?
Hypothesis: I think the egg will bounce due to the vinegars chemical reactions because of the vinegar being an acid.
Equipment:
1 jar
Vinegar
1 egg
Steps:
1. Pour vinegar into the jar
2. Place the egg in vinegar (make sure that the jar has a lid on it)
3. Wait 48 hours
4. Rinse the eggs
5. Bounce the eggs

Results: I dropped the egg from 5cm high and the egg bounced after waiting 2 days for the vinegar to react.

Conclusion: The egg shell is made out of calcium carbonate and because vinegar is an acid carbon dioxide bubbles form around the egg shell which eats away the egg shell which leaves the inside and the inside is like rubber so that way

    In this experiment I attempted to created and study the affects of a egg in a hypertonic and hypotonic solution. To conduct this experiment I used the following materials: cups, eggs, vinegar, corn syrup, spoons and food coloring. To begin the experiment I placed three eggs in vinegar to dissolve their shells, leaving behind a thin membrane that allowed water to pass in and out of the eggs. The water molecules enter inside the eggs and the eggs begins to swell. Once the eggs have sat in the vinegar for two days I removed one from the vinegar, washed the eggs and placed it in the corn syrup.…

    The materials given were three raw chicken eggs, vinegar, maple syrup, tap water, and table salt. Prior to beginning the experiment, the raw chicken eggs were saturated in vinegar for two days, in order to remove the outer shell. Also before beginning the experiment, the mass of the glass dish was obtained, via a triple beam balance, for measuring/zeroing purposes. On the day of the experiment, the three raw eggs were removed from their vinegar bath and rinsed under a stream of tap water, running from a faucet. After rinsing, each egg was patted dry, placed in a glass dish, and measured b y a triple beam balance, in order to obtain the initial mass of the egg.…

    During this experiment eggs were rolled on paper towels to blot the excess liquid and then weighed. They were then placed into one of six solutions immediately afterwards. In 15-minute intervals, the eggs were blotted and weighed again. This process was repeated four times, adding up to 60 minutes.…

    Once the egg was decalcified, it felt very fragile and bouncy. When the egg didn’t have a shell anymore, it was kept from seeping out by the “plasma membrane” (egg white), which was congealed by the soaking in vinegar. When the nucleus of the egg became visible, it looked very cloudy. The substance that entered/left the egg in each situation was water, due to the state of the egg, by way of osmosis, in a way of trying to balance the inside and outside the “cell” (egg), this balance is essential to functioning at the preferred isotonic state. This lab could be improved by using 2 different eggs, as the data seemed inaccurate when placing a hypotonic egg into a solution of corn syrup made the egg hypertonic, because there wasn’t a proper start weight in the egg when placed in the second solution.…

    It was hypothesized that if we place an egg in a low sucrose solution, then it will enlarge or swell, making it a hypotonic solution. The results of this experiment prove this hypothesis was correct. According to the results, as time increased, the weight of the egg also increased. This can be concluded because the low sucrose solution caused the egg to intact the liquid causing it to expand.…

    Baking Soda and Vinegar Rockets Introduction: Baking soda and vinegar are both compounds that can go off at any moment when it is applied. We had to see what would happen is we added 10mL of vinegar in the canister and see what amount of baking soda could make the canister go the furthers. We found out that this whole turning baking soda and vinegar to a rocket was going to be a chemical change. The chemical name for baking soda is (NaHCO3) and the chemical name for vinegar is (CH3COOH) and both of these elements are compound.…

    Introduction: Acids and bases are often described using the Bronsted-Lowry theory which states that acids are proton donors, while bases are proton acceptors (Thorne, 78). This means that an acid has additional H+ ion(s) that can be given, whereas a base lacks these ions and will accept them. Acids and bases can further classified as strong or weak. A weak acid, such as HF, will not ionize completely, meaning that only some of the H+ ions will be lost. A strong acid will however, will release more of their H+ ions (Tro, 664).…

    Titration is used to determine the equivalence point of a reaction, or the point when the moles of acid are equal to the moles of base in a mixture. Titration is used to determine the concentration of an unknown solution by using an already known solution. This process is important because it is commonly in the medical field. For example, pharmacists use titration in the creation of drugs. In addition, doctors also titration when determining the concentration necessary to give their patients of different medicines.…

    Other things such as air resistance and mass will also affect the acceleration of the egg. As an egg is dropped the gravitational pull is what causes the egg not to float but rather fall straight to the ground. Furthermore gravity amongst other forces have the ability to prevent an egg from cracking upon…
