Vinegar dissolves the eggshell. Vinegar contains a chemical named Acetic Acid (about 3% of it is acetic acid), among other things. Egg shells contain calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate in the egg shell reacts with vinegar to form carbon dioxide (can be seen as bubbles in the vinegar). The reaction is: CaCO3+ 2H+ -> Ca+2 + H2O +CO2

∙ 15y agothen you put the egg in vinegar leave it for a few days you shall return to find the raw egg is now see through!

∙ 9y agoVinegar erodes the eggs shell because the shell is made from calcium carbonate. The vinegar, or acetic acid, reacts with the calcium carbonate to make calcium and CO2.

What happens to an egg when placed into sparkling water?
Nothing will happen to a a raw egg when placed into sparkling water.
What happens when you put a raw egg in vinegar and then saltwater?
The vinegar will disintegrate the egg shell and the salt will suck out all the water and shrivel the egg.
What happens to a raw egg when left in mixture of water and vinegar?
It explodes and kills you and your family.
What happens when you put a peeled egg in vinegar?
If it is already boiled nothing will really happen except vinegar eating it up. If it was a raw egg with the shell intact, the vinegar will dissolve the shell and you can watch the proteins get denatured.
Does vinegar make both a raw and a boiled egg bounce?
no.
Why does a egg go bouncy when you put it in vinegar?
The vinegar makes the egg soft because, the vinegar has a chemical reaction due to the Carbon Dioxide in the vinegar which has an effect on the egg. That's why the egg's shell dissolves off, and the egg gets soft.Correction:A raw egg will NOT bounce when dropped into vinegar. The egg must sit in vinegar for about 24 hours, so that the vinegar will react with the carbon dioxide in the egg shell, before the egg will become soft and rubbery. See link below.
What happens to a raw egg that is put in rubbing alcohol?
nothing happens
What happen to egg RAW when you put into vinegar in 72 hours?
The calcium dissolves leaving an egg with a soft skin holding it together instead of a shell. This takes a few hours, but if you plan to test it, I recommend putting the egg in vinegar and placing it in the fridge overnight. When you wake up it will be completed.
What happens when you put eggs in vinegar?
If you put a raw egg in vinegar the egg shell will disolve and will leave the whole inside rubbery. This happens from acetic acid. Acitic acid is used as a solven in rubber, plastic, is chief acid of vinegar. (you could hear more about acetic acid if you ask a Qustion about it.)
If you put a raw egg into a jar of vinegar what would happen to the egg?
If you put a raw egg in vinegar, each day the shell will disolve more and more. Finally, at the end of your experiment, your egg should turn out rubbery, and kind of clear. When I say clear, I mean cloudy, but you can still see the yolk. If you want to see what happens, do the experiment yourself, it's interesting! Egg shells are made up of mostly calcium carbonate, which is a base. Vinegar is dilute acetic acid. When you place the egg in the vinegar, the shell (base) and the vinegar (acid) react, and the shell basically dissolves away. What you are left with is the thin membrane that separates the egg whites and yolk from the shell. That's why the egg looks cloudy. The insides of the egg are still intact, just like a regular raw egg. If the egg is brown, the egg will absorb the vinegar, thus causing it to expand. After about 72 hours, the egg will still look the same as 24 hours after you put it in. If you want to have some fun with it, try picking it up with rubber gloves on. It has the same texture as a small water balloon. Throw it in the sink and see what happens. (The egg will burst, leaving a rubbery skin behind along with a perfectly intact yolk.)
What is the conclusion of bouncy egg?
The conclusion for many concerning the bouncy egg experiment is that vinegar does cause the egg to bounce. After soaking a raw egg in its shell in vinegar for a few days, the shell dissolves leaving just the rubbery membrane that can be bounced.
Why does a raw egg swell or shrink when placed in different solutions?
A raw egg without its shell but with its inner membrane intact will either swell or shrink when placed in a solution because of the concentration gradient. The membrane is semi-permeable. An egg will shrink if it is placed in a solution that has a higher solute concentration than inside it. It will swell if it is placed in a solution that has a lower solute concentration than inside the egg.
