When soaking an egg in vinegar for 48 hours, the vinegar miraculously dissolves the eggshell . The cause of this is because the eggshell is composed mainly of calcium carbonate, which is why regular eggshell and vinegar contain acetic acid. So, when the egg encounters vinegar, the outer shell acts with the acid and gradually disappears. If you are interested, the following will be detailed how to do it.

Put the eggs in the cup and pour the vinegar so that the vinegar submerges the whole egg.

Put the egg in the vinegar.

Now leave it for 48 hours (2 days). Because 90% of eggshells are calcium carbonate (CaCO3), and when it reacts with acid, eggshell begins to dissolve and release CO2.

Eggshell acts with acid and gradually disappears.

Right after 48 hours, remove the eggs.
