Everyone knows that chicken eggs are very fragile. It is worth accidentally dropping an egg, as it breaks, splashing its contents. However, with the help of simple actions, you can make an egg unbreakable. And even play with him, like a bouncer.
Watch the video how to make a rubber egg:
Necessary tools and materials
• Egg;
• Table vinegar;
• Glass cup;
• Napkin.
Manufacture
Take a glass and pour table vinegar into it. Note that its strength should be 9%. Otherwise, the experiment may fail.
Dip the egg in vinegar. After a few seconds, it becomes covered with bubbles of carbon dioxide. This is easily explained - the egg shell is 95% calcium carbonate. And it, when interacting with acid, decomposes, releasing CO2.
After a day, remove the egg from vinegar and rinse under running water. Then wipe it off with a cloth.
Now there is no shell on the egg - only the film remains. It is very durable, so the egg will feel like a rubber to the touch. Playing with the egg is simple - throw it on the table, and it will bounce.
You can also enlighten the egg with a flashlight - you get an interesting effect, as if it glows by itself. Just remember - rubber egg should never be eaten!
