What happens to an egg in citric acid?

When an egg is placed in citric acid, the acid breaks down the calcium carbonate in the eggshell, resulting in the eggshell dissolving. This process exposes the egg's membrane, allowing the citric acid to penetrate the egg and denature its proteins. Ultimately, the egg becomes rubbery and opaque due to the changes in its protein structure.
