Pour 500 mL hydrochloric acid, one M, into the one-L beaker. Use the spoon to gently place the egg in the solution. Use the lab scoop to completely submerge the egg in the solution. After several minutes in the solution, the raw egg slowly begins to lose its shell. It takes approximately 60 min to 90 min for the shell to completely dissolve and reveal the transparent egg sac containing the soft yellow egg.
