McDonald’s Hamburger Survives Dip in Acid (video)
A McDonald’s hamburger is one durable piece of food. Martyn Poliakoff, a University of Nottingham chemistry professor decided to see what would happen when the hamburger was dipped in hydrochloric acid for 3.5 hours. Hydrochloric acid can be found in everyone’s stomach and is used by the human body to digest food for use as energy. The result of this experiment does not yield a whole lot of deterioration. This is only one video in Nottingham’s Periodic Table of Videos series on YouTube.
