What happens if you put an egg in Coca-Cola???
- In today's issue I want to show a very interesting and unusual experiment: "What happens if you put an egg in Coca-Cola???".
We will need:
1. Coca-Cola.
2. Egg (white for clarity).
3. Glass jar with lid.

I decided today to check what will happen to the egg if you put it in a coke.

If you are interested in this as I am, then finish reading this article, like it and share your thoughts in the comments.
The first thing we do is put the egg in the jar.

Next, we proceed to the most interesting.
Pour the cola into a jar with an egg
Shell and orthophosphoric acid reaction
3CaCO3 + 2H3PO4 → Ca3(PO4)2 + 3H2O + 3CO2
The active substance in cola is orthophosphoric acid, namely a food additive (E338). The first thing it reacts with is eggshells, that is, calcium carbonate (CaCO3). In the reaction, we see that carbon dioxide, water and calcium orthophosphate are released.
In the food industry, calcium orthophosphate is used as a baking powder.
Slight release of carbon dioxide at the first contact, also due to the composition of Coca-Cola, a large number of gases are released.
Let's leave it for 24 hours and check what happens to the egg
After 24 hours
We take out the egg and check what happened to it.

Note that it has changed color, cracks have also appeared.
Destroyed the egg with his fingers
The shell has become brittle, the yolk and protein from the Cola have not suffered. You can draw a parallel with our teeth and shells and understand that Coca-Cola negatively affects our teeth.
