Upon immersion, the carbonates in the egg shell will react with the acid in the vinegar in the reaction: acid + carbonate = carbon dioxide + water + salt. Thus the volume of vinegar will go down.

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.

Why does the weight of a egg change after soaking in vinegar?

An egg swells in vinegar because of diffusion. The vinegar has seeped through the egg's membrane, which causes the egg to inflate. However, the main reason you put the egg in the vinegar is because you want to dissolve the shell. This makes diffusion easier to occur on the egg's semi-permeable membrane. When you put the egg in the vinegar for the first time, an expansion is likely due to the carbon dioxide in the shells (it's the bubbles you see). This will expand the shell as the carbon dioxide attempts to escape.
