A Shell-Less Egg? Yes It's Possible!!

I could do absolutely anything I wanted with the egg I was given in class. After going through a few ideas, I did not find that any of them were interesting.  I had recently seen that you could take the shell off of an egg and just leave the membrane intact with the insides. So I thought why not just try and do that. It is very simple.

Get an egg along with some sort of cup or container along with some vinegar. Place the egg(s) into the container(s) and pour enough vinegar into the cup to cover the egg. Do not worry if the egg floats as it should normally start turning the longer they are in vinegar. There will be a chemical reaction between the acetic acid in the vinegar and the calcium shell on the egg. After a few minutes, bubbles will cover the egg to let you know the reaction is taking place. Letting them soak for 24 hours is a good idea which should turn the shell into a powdery substance that you can rub off very carefully.  Then stick them back into vinegar and after another 24 hours the shell should be completely dissolved. The eggs will plump up as the membrane lets the water in the vinegar pass through in a process called osmosis. The end result is a squishy egg with just the membrane intact.
