What happens when you leave an egg and veneger for three days?
When you leave an egg in vinegar for three days, the vinegar dissolves the eggshell due to its acidic nature. This process is known as osmosis. The egg will become rubbery and translucent as the acid breaks down the calcium carbonate in the shell, leaving the egg protected only by its membrane.
What will eggs shells react with?

Why do egg shells break when you boil them?
The egg shell is not liquid so the inside is the only thing that changes. Egg Shells *WILL* dissolve in Vinegar. When you drop egg shells in to the vinegar, you can immediately see bubbles appear as the Acidity of the liquid takes effect. Calcium Carbonate (Egg shells) reacts with the vinegar to form Carbon Dioxide. Calcium Carbonate is *NOT* soluble in water, boiling or not. Try it. Immerse an egg completely in vinegar for around a week, all that will be left is the Yolk with the protective membrane.
Why can't oxygen make egg shells turn to rubber?
Oxygen has no softening effect on the calcium compounds found in egg shells. However, acetic acid (vinegar) will cause egg shells to dissolve completely by forming calcium acetate from the calcium carbonate. This will leave the rubbery inner membrane of the egg.
What happens to a raw egg if placed in vinegar?
Vinegar dissolves the eggshell. Vinegar contains a chemical named Acetic Acid (about 3% of it is acetic acid), among other things. Egg shells contain calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate in the egg shell reacts with vinegar to form carbon dioxide (can be seen as bubbles in the vinegar). The reaction is: CaCO3+ 2H+ -> Ca+2 + H2O +CO2
