Will an egg soften if left in vinegar over night?

The egg's shell is made up of calcium carbonate and is "eaten" up by the acidic vinegar, leaving behind only the inner membrane and giving them a rubbery feel. It dissolves the shell completely. If you leave it outside of a liquid for too long, gravity will collapse it.


Does vinegar have the same water concentration as an egg?

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.


Why will you need eggs in making an egg bounce with vinegar?

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.
