Naked Egg Research

Are naked eggs with no shell? What? You may think I am speaking about a hard boiled egg, but, no. Boiled eggs have their centers heated making the shell easily come off. Naked eggs have their shells taken off with one simple ingredient everyone has. Vinegar. The vinegar acid inside the vinegar strips the shell away from the egg. The vinegar solutions dissolves the shell from the egg. Once the egg has been separated form it's shell the only thing keeping the liquid goo inside is the thin, flexible membrane. Naked eggs are eggs with their shell removed after a vinegar soak revealing the membrane without cracking the egg. The membrane keeps the soft, gooey insides, inside the egg. Osmosis is when there is an imbalance between two solutes and the liquid will move to balance the solutes making them the same. The more concentrated solute is going to pull to the side that has less concentration and will become the same concentration. In
The formula of vinegar is CH3COOH. The formula for corn syrup is C12H22O11. And lastly the formula for salt is NaCL. C stands for carbon. H stands for hydrogen and O stands for oxygen. At the end of our experiment we saw that there were drastic changes to the eggs. The corn syrup egg lost nearly half of its water content making it shriveled and very fragile. The vinegar egg stayed the same and it did not lose or gain vinegar. With the salt water egg we had two of them lose water and one of them gain water. The largest egg of them all was the vinegar egg. The smallest egg of them all was the corn syrup egg! Fun Fact: You can eat naked eggs. They are considered a delicacy in China and are called 100 hundred year old eggs even they are not fermented for 100 years. During this experiment we learned corn syrup will take away the water out of the egg because it wants to balance its sugars. This will cause the corn syrup egg to become shriveled up and
