What causes water molecules to move when an egg is placed vinegar?

egg has more water molecules than vinegar so when egg is placed in vinegar water molecules move from the egg to the vinegar due to osmosis,which is defined as "the movement of water molecules from higher concentration to lower concentration thru a partially permeable membrane" there fore the water molecules move inward. The proof is that the egg got larger and this was because water moved into the egg after the shell disintegrated from the 5% of acid in the vinegar. (the other 95% is water)

What happens to the size of an egg in vinegar?

When an egg is placed in vinegar, the shell dissolves due to the vinegar's acidity. This causes the egg to increase in size as the vinegar penetrates the egg's membrane, causing it to swell.


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.


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.
