What will happen to the substances soaking in acetic acid?
Acetic acid better know as Vinegar is a common weak acid found in the home. If a egg is submerged in Acetic acid the Calcium carbonate of the egg shell will begin to dissolve releasing CO2. An iron nail will react to the acid by oxidizing.
What will happen when an egg is placed in acetic acid?
the egg shell will dissolve
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.)
What happen to the shell of an egg when it soak in acetic acid?
The shell (Calcium carbonate) dissolves in acetic acid and forms water and carbon dioxide. CaCO3 + 2 CH3COOH --> Ca(CH3COO)2 + H2O + CO2
Why will you need eggs in making an egg bounce with vinegar?
The egg shell is a calcium compound, calcium carbonate. Vinegar contains acetic acid. They react to form calcium acetate and release carbon dioxide, the gas bubbles that you see.

What is the data of an bouncy egg?
Vinegar has an acid called acetic acid. Acetic acid is an acid that reacts with the high calcium content of the eggshell causing it to dissolve.

What happens to an egg onwhen water and vinegar together?
I am not sure as to what you are asking but I can tell you that acetic acid (vinegar) dissolves the CaCO3 in the egg shell, thus disintegrating the exterior of egg shell. This is irrelevant of the water (aside from how quickly it happens)
What is in acetic which makes it dissolve egg shells?
the acid part
What in the vinegar makes the egg shell dissolve?
acetic acid
What reaction happens when an egg is soaked in vinegar?
The eggs won't react, it is the vinegar that acts on the egg. The acid in the vinegar will corrode the calcium in the egg shell, causing the egg to become soft, like rubber.
What happen to the shell of an egg when it soak in acetic acid?
The shell (Calcium carbonate) dissolves in acetic acid and forms water and carbon dioxide. CaCO3 + 2 CH3COOH --> Ca(CH3COO)2 + H2O + CO2
What happens to a raw egg if placed in vinegar?
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
Why egg become rubbery when soaked in vinegar?
well, i think its because the egg is made of calcium carbonate and the acid in the vinegar dissolves the shell because they do not cooperate.
Why does an egg float and peal in vinegar?
Vinegar has a density greater than that of the egg. So by Archimedes's principle, the egg floats on it. The reaction is due to the action of the acid in vinegar, acetic acid on the shell of the egg which contains CaCO3. The reaction is 2CH3COOH + CaCO3 ----------> (CH3COO)2Ca + H2O + CO2.
