Does the egg in vinegar experiment work?
If you soak an egg in vinegar the eggshell will absorb the acid and break down, or dissolve. The calcium carbonate will become carbon dioxide gas, which will go into the air. What is left is the soft tissue that lined the inside of the eggshell. It will bounce!
Does vinegar turn an egg into rubber?
Learning how to make a rubber egg is a classic science project that kids love. And it’s so easy! Literally all you need to do is drop an egg in vinegar and come back in a few days to find…a bouncy egg!
What happens when you put an egg in salt water?
Saltwater is denser than fresh water because of its salt content. The egg will sink in the fresh water because it has greater density than the water. The egg will float in the salt water because when salt is added to water its density becomes greater than that of the egg.

What happens when you put an egg in Gatorade?
The lower the pH of a liquid was, the softer the eggshell (representing a tooth) became. The only two drinks that definitely softened the eggshell were Gatorade and MVP, both drinks with a pH value of 4.0. The hardness of the egg shell was tested before being placed in the sports drinks using the Mohs Hardness Scale.
