Because the acetic acid in the vinegar reacts with the solid calcium carbonate crystals that make up the eggshell, separating them into their calcium and carbonate parts, the calcium ions floats free and the carbonate makes the bubbles (carbon dioxide) that you can see on the egg. The protein that binds the calcium and carbonate is the froth that you can see on the top.

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.
How do you disintegrate an eggshell?

How long does it take to melt an eggshell in vinegar?
2-5 days
Why does vinegar disintegrate eggshells?
Vinegar is acidic (acetic acid) and reacts with the calcium carbonate in the eggshell, breaking it down and releasing carbon dioxide gas in a chemical reaction. This reaction dissolves the calcium carbonate in the eggshell, leaving it soft and disintegrated.
If you put one raw chicken egg in a container filled with vinegar and left it for two weeks what would happen?
When you place a raw chicken egg in vinegar, the vinegar will dissolve the eggshell due to its acidic nature. This process is called vinegar eggshell erosion. Over time, the egg will lose its shell and become rubbery due to the proteins and membranes that remain.
What does eggshell mean?
Eggshell is the part of the egg that you peel off of the egg when you are going to eat or cook the egg.
Why does vinegar eat the shell off the egg?
Vinegar is acidic, and the calcium carbonate in the eggshell reacts with the acid in the vinegar to form carbon dioxide gas. This reaction breaks down the eggshell, making it weaker and eventually causing it to dissolve.
