What Do I Need? .

• a big spoon

What Do I Do?



Here’s how you dissolve the shell from your eggs:


1. Place your eggs in the container so that they are not touching.


2. Add enough vinegar to cover the eggs. Notice that bubbles form on the eggs. Cover the container, put it in the refrigerator, and let the eggs sit in the vinegar for 24 hours.


3. Use your big spoon to scoop the eggs out of the vinegar. Be careful—since the eggshell has been dissolving, the egg membrane may be the only thing holding the egg together. The membrane is not as durable as the shell.

4. Carefully dump out the vinegar. Put the eggs back in the container and cover them with fresh vinegar. Leave the eggs in the refrigerator for another 24 hours.

5. Scoop the eggs out again and rinse them carefully. If any of the membranes have broken, letting the egg ooze out, throw those eggs away.

6. When you’re done, you’ll have an egg without a shell. It looks like an egg, but it’s translucent—and the membrane flexes when you squeeze it. Very cool!

What’s Going On?
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 (ions are atoms that are missing electrons) float free, while the carbonate goes to make carbon dioxide—the bubbles that you see.

Answer 3

HEY ! Just leave the eggshell alone.

Answer 4

Soaking it in strong booze will do it, too.

(No, really. That sort of thing used to be somewhat common in old-fashioned 'eye-opener' drink recipes -- aka hair-of-the-dog hangover cures.)

Answer 5

Soak it in vinegar for as long as it takes.

Answer 6

Well Skeeter, the answer is obvious.

Seriously though,

Acid!
