How do you the soda experiment on eggs?

- 12 raw eggs

- 12 cups of soda (any flavor)

- Food coloring (optional)

- Timer

- Paper towels

Procedure:

1. Place one egg in each cup of soda.

2. Add a few drops of food coloring to each cup of soda, if desired.

3. Set the timer for 24 hours.

4. After 24 hours, carefully remove the eggs from the soda and place them on paper towels.

5. Observe the eggs and record your observations.

Observations:

- The eggs that were in soda will have a hard, brittle shell that is difficult to peel.

- The eggs that were in diet soda will have a softer shell that is easier to peel.

- The eggs that were in colored soda will have a colored shell.

- The eggs that were in clear soda will have a clear shell.

Conclusion:

The soda experiment demonstrates how acid can dissolve calcium carbonate. The eggshell is made of calcium carbonate, and the soda is acidic. The acid in the soda reacts with the calcium carbonate in the eggshell and causes it to dissolve. This is why the eggs that were in soda have a hard, brittle shell that is difficult to peel.
