The Bouncy Egg experiment is a fun way to explore acid-base reactions and the structure of an egg. By placing an egg in vinegar, the acetic acid reacts with the calcium carbonate shell, dissolving it and leaving behind the egg’s flexible membrane. The result is a “bouncy” egg that demonstrates chemical reactions and structural resilience.
Learning Objective:
To investigate acid-base neutralization and understand the composition and structure of an eggshell and its membrane.
