Vinegar in fact contains acetic acid and this reacts with the calcium carbonate making up the shell of the egg. This reaction gives off carbon dioxide so if you were paying attention you will have seen bubbles coming off the egg as soon as it was added to the vinegar. The membrane around the egg also becomes very rubbery during this soaking in vinegar. This occurs because the acid denatures the protein making up the egg white (albumin). Denaturation of proteins can occur through exposure to acids, bases or high temperature. This is what happens when you cook an egg- the clear egg white turns opaque and white as the protein chains become tangled due to the heat.

When you soak an egg in vinegar, the acetic acid in the vinegar reacts with the calcium carbonate in the eggshell, forming carbon dioxide gas. This reaction causes the eggshell to dissolve, leaving behind a rubbery membrane that makes the egg feel bouncy.

What happens when you soak the egg in salt water?
When you soak an egg in salt water, the egg will float because the salt water is denser than the egg, decreasing its overall density. This is due to the process of osmosis, where water moves from an area of low salt concentration (inside the egg) to an area of high salt concentration (the salt water), causing the egg to float.

What happens if you soak an egg in maple syrup?
When an egg is placed in Kary syrup the egg releases the water inside of it to achieve diffusion. There is a higher concentration of water in the egg than in the Karo syrup. When you touch the egg after it was left in the Karo syrup overnight you will find that it collapses under your touch because it has lost some of its volume (the water). The egg will also shrink in size.
