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
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.
When an egg reacts with acetic acid (vinegar), a chemical reaction occurs that causes the eggshell to dissolve. The acetic acid in the vinegar breaks down the calcium carbonate in the eggshell, resulting in the release of carbon dioxide gas. This reaction leaves behind the egg membrane intact.
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.
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.
egg shells will most likely react with vinegar and sprite
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!)
When an egg is soaked in vinegar, a chemical reaction occurs where the acid in the vinegar reacts with the calcium carbonate in the eggshell. This reaction dissolves the eggshell, leaving only the semi-permeable membrane around the egg intact.

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