yes, over 24 hours it's shell will disolve leaving just the protective layer around the egg. I did this in science class.

water does not react with vinegar, it just changes the color
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.
no.
Egg is denser than vinegar. The egg will sink when placed inside a jar with vinegar. So to make the vinegar denser, one must add salt or other solute.
Simply put a fresh egg in a glass and cover it completely in vinegar. The egg will float because it has a lower density than the vinegar.
egg shells will most likely react with vinegar and sprite
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.
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.
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.
A cracked egg, when mixed with the substance (vinegar), will cause nothing at first but will slowly desolve the egg shells and create the egg into a funny looking color. (If you want to try this at home, PLEASE WEAR GOGGLES!)

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 an egg fold if you put it in 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.
The vinegar isn't absorbed by the egg.
The egg will break 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.
