How did this egg get so big , cock-a-hoop than before , even ?

This 5 - minute slyness is perhaps among the best affair on Facebook today . But , like many things on Facebook , it ’s not quite right . So , it ’s time we learn some unproblematic school day science .

Chicken egg , the container and solid food inside of which chicks develop , are encase in a calcium carbonate shell , where calcium carbonate is a uncouth mineral found in rocks and throughout the born world . Vinegar , on the other hand , hold in acetic Zen . When the two mix , the carbonate drive up the hydrogen ions from the acetic acid and becomes carbonic acid , which divulge down into carbon dioxide and water .
If you really execute this experimentation , you ’ll mark two things : First , it produce bubble from the carbon dioxide , and two , it might take long than one day for all of the egg ’s carapace to undergo the chemical reaction . I think when we did this experimentation in primary school we waited two or three daytime .
What ’s left from this reaction is just a membrane layer with no casing . You ’ll observe that the egg has n’t changed . Puncture the membrane and you ’ll be left with a puddle of naked as a jaybird egg . But the ballock will indeed be “ heavy than before , ” as water from the acetum overhaul through the membrane into the egg , which has a lower water concentration . It ’s bid osmosis .
The video then instructs you to put the nut into maple syrup and then , after a daytime , it will be “ bigger than before . ” I assume whatever syrup they used was also in high spirits in water , which is why it stimulate even enceinte than before . Typically when you ( or any other YouTube scientists ) run this experimentation , the sirup has less urine , so urine then leave alone the shell - less testicle via osmosis and you ’re left with a shriveled - up raft .
The real marvel is the original conclusion of the video , which science can not explain .
I just find the pilot of the " BIGGER THAN BEFORE " video and … it get weirder after the person who upload it ignore it offpic.twitter.com/3P5M5vzqJ5
