Would a salt-cured egg be a physical or chemical change?
For a science experiment, I placed an egg in water that had three tablespoons of salt for one week. After 4 days, the egg cracked. At the end of the week, I took it out and cracked the egg. The egg yolk was now solid. This is also called salt-cured eggs. However, I'm not sure whether this is a physical or chemical change.
The telltale sign of a chemical change is the formation of a new substance. They also usually involve the production of energy (heat, light, sound etc.)
