An egg's shell contains calcium. When submerged in vinegar for several days, the calcium dissolves leaving the egg intact and held together by a clear membrane (have you ever seen pickled eggs on a bar?)
So the conclusion is (depending on your question) that vinegar dissolves calcium. Kinda anti-climatic, huh?

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.
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 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 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.
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 is the conclusion of bouncy egg?
The conclusion for many concerning the bouncy egg experiment is that vinegar does cause the egg to bounce. After soaking a raw egg in its shell in vinegar for a few days, the shell dissolves leaving just the rubbery membrane that can be bounced.

What happen to the raw of egg after putting inside the jar with vinegar?
the shell comes off the egg, and you just have the thin layer of yolky like stuff that holds the egg inside
What caused the egg size to increase while putting it in vinegar?
When an egg is placed in vinegar, the vinegar reacts with the calcium carbonate in the eggshell, causing it to dissolve. As the eggshell dissolves, the egg absorbs water through osmosis, making it swell in size. This increase in size is due to the influx of water into the egg through the now porous eggshell.
What is the chemical equation for putting an egg in vinegar?
It should be noted that it is not the eggs that dissolve, but the egg shell, and it is not the fact that it is vinegar, just that it is an acid. Egg shells involve calcium compounds which will dissolve in acid. Vinegar is a slightly acidic compound and so it dissolves the calcium compound.
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 an egg fold if you put it in vinegar?
Why does an egg fold if you put it in vinegar?
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.
What do you think vinegar or salt water will break a egg?
The egg will break in vinegar.
Why does the egg have a equal mass when added to vinegar?
The vinegar isn't absorbed by the egg.
Does vinegar have the same water concentration as an egg?
No, vinegar has a higher water concentration compared to an egg. Vinegar is primarily composed of water, whereas an egg has water, protein, and fats in addition to other components like vitamins and minerals.
