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 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.
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?
The calcium dissolves leaving an egg with a soft skin holding it together instead of a shell. This takes a few hours, but if you plan to test it, I recommend putting the egg in vinegar and placing it in the fridge overnight. When you wake up it will be completed.
Is it osmosis or diffusion if you put an egg in vinegar?
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.
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.
