What happens when you put an egg in Gatorade?

When you put an egg in Gatorade, the acid in the sports drink will cause the egg's shell to dissolve. This will allow the egg white and yolk to absorb the Gatorade, causing the egg to swell up and become rubbery. The taste of the egg will also be affected, becoming more salty and sour.

Here is a more detailed explanation of the process:

- The acid in Gatorade is mainly citric acid, which is a weak acid. When the egg is placed in the Gatorade, the citric acid will start to dissolve the egg's shell, which is made of calcium carbonate.

- As the shell dissolves, the egg white and yolk will start to absorb the Gatorade. This will cause the egg to swell up and become rubbery.

- The taste of the egg will also be affected by the Gatorade. The egg white will become more salty, while the yolk will become more sour.

- The process of dissolving the egg shell and absorbing the Gatorade can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on the concentration of the Gatorade and the temperature of the liquid.

It is interesting to note that this experiment can also be done with other acidic liquids, such as vinegar or lemon juice. The results will be similar, with the egg shell dissolving and the egg white and yolk absorbing the liquid.
