this is a video of us pouring the vinegar into the container.

we changed the container as the vinegar we had was not enough to cover the eggs, so we transfered the eggs into a smaller container to ensure that the eggs are fully submerged.

the egg shell dissolves very fast in one of the containers.

carbon dioxide bubbles and froth form because of the reaction.
brown substances from the shell float to the top too.
