Raw egg, cooked egg, white vinegar, plastic container, paper towels, labels, and a timer
Here are the steps for the experiment:
1. Prepare a plastic container that is large enough for the eggs to be in contact with and cover the bottom with a paper towel to prevent the eggs from touching the container directly.
2. Label the container with raw and cooked eggs.
3. Place the raw and cooked eggs in separate containers, being careful not to let them touch.
4. Slowly pour in the white vinegar until it submerges the eggs.
5. Start the timer and observe the changes in the eggs. Check every 24 hours and gently wipe away any sediment from the surface with a paper towel.
6. Record all changes observed, including the color, texture, and volume of the eggshell.
7. After a week, stop the timer, remove the eggs and rinse with water.
8. Compare the changes in raw and cooked eggs in white vinegar, analyze the reasons and draw conclusions.
Through this experiment, we can find that after soaking the raw eggs in white vinegar for a week, the shells will gradually dissolve and the whites will turn into gelatinous substances, while the yolks will remain relatively stable. After soaking cooked eggs in white vinegar for a week, the eggshell will also gradually dissolve, but the egg white and yolk will form a piece of gelatinous material. This may be because cooked eggs in the heating process, the structure of the protein has changed, making it easier to chemical reaction in white vinegar.
