It depends on how long it is in the vinegar but the egg will lose a layer of its skin and become very fragile. It will also become bouncy. Why not trie it!!!!

Does vinegar have the same water concentration as an egg?
No, vinegar has a higher concentration of water than an egg. Therefore, if an egg is placed in vinegar, then it will gain mass because vinegar is hypotonic to the egg.
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 an egg when you put it in vinegar and why?
What?After two days the egg shell will start to disintegrate (dissolve) and after a week the translucent membrane and the actual egg itself will be the only thing left. It will be rubbery and wrinkled.Why?The acidic content of the vinegar reacts with the calcium carbonate in the egg shell, and dissolves it. Because vinegar is only a weak acid the process takes some time.
Why does the egg have a equal mass when added to vinegar?
The vinegar isn't absorbed by the egg.
What do you think vinegar or salt water will break a egg?
The egg will break in vinegar.
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
Is it osmosis or diffusion if you put an egg in vinegar?
If you put an egg in vinegar, then this process would be called osmosis because osmosis is the movement of solvent particles (in this vinegar), while diffusion is the movement of gas, solute and solvent particles from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.
Why does vinegar make eggs soft?
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.
What is the circumference if you put an egg in vinegar?
The circumference of an egg in vinegar varies for each egg.
Can you use vinegar as an egg replacer for baking?
Vinegar would do nothing to replace an egg.
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.
