We tried the experiment with an eggshell. We put the eggshell in vinegar last Wednesday.
Today, 5 days later, most of the egg shell was gone.

Disappearing Eggshell
Romans loved to wear pearls and once Cleopatra, the Queen of Egypt, drank a pearl at a Roman banquet. She dropped a pearl worth 10 million Roman dollars into a glass of vinegar. The vinegar dissolved the pearl and then she drank it.
Today, 5 days later, most of the egg shell was gone.

That's pretty cool!
ReplyDeleteYou've inspired me to perform my very own kitchen science experiments stemming from only one question. "What would happen if....?" LOL
ReplyDeleteI wonder what would happen if I did that with an egg straight out of the fridge. Hmm. Think I'll give that a try!!
