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.

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.
How do osmosis and dialysis releate to diffusion?
Osmosis is the the diffusion of water or any soluble liquid across a semipermeable membrane such as the outer membrane of a cell. When water moves out of the cell faster then the intake of water, the cell will shrink. This is a hypertonic solution. When the intake is greater than the output, the cell will grow. This is a hypotonic solution. When a balance is achieved, water moving equally in and out of the cell, an isotonic solution is created. Dialysis is when the kidney allows only certain things to DIFFUSE through it. For example, a biology class put an egg in a vinegar solution. This causes the egg to grow because the vinegar was at a higher concentration then the inside of the egg and biology states that it will flow from a high concentration to low concentration. When that same egg is placed in water, the vinegar flows out of the egg because the water was a lower solution of vinegar than the egg. So all of this comes down to the fact that in both osmosis and dialysis, something is being diffused through the cell's semipermeable membrane. If you need a clearer explanation, ask you school's biology teacher(s).
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.
How do you make an egg to float in vinagar?
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.
How do you get an egg to float in vinegar?
To make an egg float in vinegar, you simply have to make the vinegar denser than the egg. Its like when you mix oil and water together, if you leave it for a while, you notice that they separate, one on top of another. The substance at the bottom is more dense than the substance at the top. To recreate this with vinegar and an egg, add salt to make the vinegar denser, and then put the egg in. If the egg still sinks, add more salt. Repeat until you get your desired result.
How does osmosis occur in an egg cell?
Osmosis occurs in an egg cell if you place it in liquids. If you put it in vinegar, the egg's shell will start to dissolve. Then, you can test osmosis in water or salt water. Because the egg is considered a cell, it will swell the egg cell with plain water (meaning it will increase the egg's mass). With salt water, the egg cell will shrink in mass.
Why do eggs get smaller if put in maple syrup?
An egg without its shell will get smaller in a concentrated solution because water is taken from the egg into the solution. Remember osmosis.

When you put an egg in vinegar it dissolves but why did it need to be dissolved?
Put an egg in vinegar and the base calcium of the eggshell will be dissolved by the acid of the vinegar.
What happens if you put a naked egg in vinegar?
When you put vinegar in a naked egg the shell will decrease its shell then turning into a smelly egg

What is the circumference if you put an egg in vinegar?
The circumference of an egg in vinegar varies for each egg.
How does osmosis explain the fact that a watery syrup forms when you put sugar on strawberries?
Osmosis-The diffusion of water through a membrane. Answer-the sugar gets in to the strawberry and makes it melt so the watery syrup forms.
Will an egg rot if you put it in vinegar?
no it will pickle

Pour vinegar in a cup and then put the egg on it
