Bouncing egg experiment or naked egg science trick | Egg in Vinegar

You will need
• A raw egg
• Vinegar
• A glass

• Leave it for 2 days.
• Take out the egg from vinegar.
• Remove the shell.
• Bounce it on the table.

Explanation
Egg shell contains calcium carbonate and Vinegar contains acetic acid. When calcium carbonate and acetic acid react, carbon dioxide is released. This process takes for 2 days as the complete carbon in the shell should be used. When you take the egg out of the vinegar it's soft because all of the carbon floated out of the egg and it bounces.
Chemical reaction taking place here is
2CH3COOH + CaCO3 gives rise to Ca(CH3COO)2 + H2O + CO2
Aceticacid Calcium Carbonate water carbon dioxide
