What happens when you put an egg in vinegar kids?

What happens when you put acid in an egg?

Vinegar (acid) breaks apart the solid calcium carbonate crystals (base) in the eggshell into their calcium and carbonate parts. The calcium ions stay dissolved in the vinegar (calcium ions are atoms that are missing electrons), while the carbonate goes on to make carbon dioxide — the bubbles that you see.

The fluoridated toothpaste protected the eggshell from the acid in the vinegar, while the vinegar leached the calcium from the control egg and dissolved the shell away from the egg’s membrane.

What happens to an egg in sugar water?

A concentrated sugar solution is hypertonic compared to the solution inside the egg. Therefore when the egg is placed in the concentrated sugar solution water flows out of the egg, causing it to shrivel.
