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 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 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.)
Show me what happen to an egg if you put it in vinegar?
when you put it in vinegar it becomes all soft and pickled. Then if you put it in water the egg will puff back up to normal size because of diffusion. The egg had low concentration and the water has a lot of concentration so the egg will puff up.
What is the purpose of adding acetic acid to egg white?
This is called acidification. It changes the conformation of the smaller proteins such as nucleic and ribosomal causing them to precipitate out of the egg white. When you filter with a cheesecloth, you are therefore leaving behind the smaller proteins that have ppt'ed.

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 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 is in acetic which makes it dissolve egg shells?
the acid part
What in the vinegar makes the egg shell dissolve?
acetic acid
Why does the egg becomes transparent and bouncing when it is placed in the venigar solution?
The egg shell is made up of calcium carbonate, and when that comes intact with acetic acid, which is in the vinegar, it causes a chemical reaction which causes carbon dioxide to come out of the shell and make the egg visible inside.
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 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.
What causes the chemical reaction of calcium carbonate in an egg and acetic acid?
The reaction is:CaCO3 + 2 CH3COOH = (CH3COO)2Ca + H2O + CO2
