Well when I did my science project on this when i first I had 3/4 up of vinegar in a plastic cup put the egg into the vinegar you could see the acids from the vinegar and egg building up. On the second day, there was a lot of bubblie white stuff in the top of the plasic cup i had.
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.
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.
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?
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.
The circumference of an egg in vinegar varies for each egg.
Vinegar would do nothing to replace an egg.
Because vinegar will dissolve the calcium shell of an egg, the egg will increase in size by about 30 to 60 millimeters after being 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.
Put an egg in vinegar and the base calcium of the eggshell will be dissolved by the acid of the vinegar.
