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.)

How do you make a egg bounce in vinegar?

Here's what you do:Fill the jar with the vinegar (enough to cover the egg) and place the hard-boiled egg inside of the jar. Put the lid on the jar and loosely tighten it. Leave the jar in a place where it will not be disturbed; especially away from the little brother's hands. You'll notice that many small bubbles will form on the eggshell as soon as you place the egg in the vinegar. If you watch the egg for a while, you'll see that some of the bubbles will grow larger and rise to the surface of the vinegar. Sometimes, large bubbles will form on the bottom of the egg. The egg will move around because the egg and the vinegar are denser, or heavier, than the bubbles. The egg will float as soon as enough bubbles are attached to it. The bubbles will cause it to move so that it looks like it's alive!The vinegar will completely decompose the shell of the egg in about one or two days. When the shell is gone, take the egg out of the jar and wash it and allow it to dry. It will feel leathery. After it's dry,try to bounce it. It will bounce like a ball!
