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.

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.


What happen to egg RAW when you put into vinegar in 72 hours?

When you put a raw egg into vinegar for 72 hours, the vinegar dissolves the eggshell due to its acidic nature. This process creates a chemical reaction that causes the eggshell to break down, leaving behind the membrane that holds the egg's contents intact. The egg becomes bouncy and rubbery due to osmosis, as the vinegar solution replaces the water inside the egg.


How do you make an egg to float in vinagar?

When an egg is placed in vinegar, the acetic acid in the vinegar reacts with the calcium carbonate in the eggshell, causing it to dissolve and create bubbles of carbon dioxide gas. This reduces the density of the egg, making it buoyant enough to float in 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.


What happens to an egg when you put it in vinegar and why?

What?After two days the egg shell will start to disintegrate (dissolve) and after a week the translucent membrane and the actual egg itself will be the only thing left. It will be rubbery and wrinkled.Why?The acidic content of the vinegar reacts with the calcium carbonate in the egg shell, and dissolves it. Because vinegar is only a weak acid the process takes some time.

What happens when you put a raw egg in vinegar and then saltwater?

When you put a raw egg in vinegar, the acid in the vinegar dissolves the eggshell. This leaves you with just the egg membrane. When you then place the egg in saltwater, osmosis occurs where water moves from the egg to the saltwater or vice versa depending on the concentration gradient, causing the egg to shrink or swell.

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.
