Question

Predict what would happen to the egg white if a raw egg were placed in vinegar

Answer 1

The correct answer would be - egg white ad yolk will be surrounded by a thin membrane as the outer shell dissolved.

Explanation:

Raw egg is basically yolk and egg white is covered with a shell made up of calcium carbonate. Vinegar is basically acetic acid that dissolves the calcium carbonate of the egg shell if it placed in the vinegar. Vinegar breaks apart the crystals of solid calcium carbonate of egg shell and releases the carbon dioxide.

The egg white is become rubbery and is surrounded by only a thin membrane as the outer shell is dissolved due to acetic acid present in the vinegar.

Thus, the correct answer would be - egg white ad yolk will be surrounded by a thin membrane as the outer shell dissolved.

Answer 2

The vinegar contains acetic acid, so when the raw egg is dissolved in the vinegar, there will be an instant formation of bubbles as the raw egg’s shell will dissolve, as the contents of the insides of the egg will be rubbery and would be unable to be eaten or consumed.
