Hypothesis: If i add the egg to vinegar then the shell will dissolve within 24 hours
nadezda [96]

Answer :

Vinegar is a weak acid. This is used to make a naked egg. When an egg is added in the vinegar for one day / 24 hrs, it reacts with the eggshell.  The calcium carbonate shell gets dissolve.

Then an egg without shell is formed and the size of the egg does not change. The calcium carbonate reacts with acetic acid and forms carbon dioxide.

When the shell-less egg is kept in the vinegar for 48 hrs i.e. 2 days again, the water content in it enters into the eggs through the membrane. Then the egg gets somewhat bigger.

Otherwise, for 24 hrs, vinegar is acting like an isotonic solution and only dissolves the shell. This experiment would be done for showing the osmosis process through the cell membrane.

Darwin examined remains of extinct organisms while on his journey. The remains had been preserved in rock for a very long time.
garri49 [273]
The remains are called fossils. Fossils are remnants of animals, plants, or microorganisms that have been solidified in the process of fossilization, where the organism is surrounded by sediment, minerals, and other solid objects which are compressed and heated around the organism over time. This forms a solid mass with the preserved organism inside, other known as a fossil.

What happens to the size of an atom as you move down the periodic table?
timurjin [86]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Atomic radius is the distance from the atom's nucleus to the outer edge of the electron cloud. In general, atomic radius decreases across a period and increases down a group. Across a period, effective nuclear charge increases as electron shielding remains constant.
