What is the science behind the bouncy egg?
The Science Behind It: The shell of an egg is made of calcium carbonate! When the egg is placed into the vinegar, you see bubbles, which is the chemical reaction of the acid within the vinegar reacting with the calcium carbonate of the egg shell to produce carbon dioxide.
Why does soaking an egg in vinegar make it bounce?
If you soak an egg in vinegar the eggshell will absorb the acid and break down, or dissolve. The calcium carbonate will become carbon dioxide gas, which will go into the air. What is left is the soft tissue that lined the inside of the eggshell. It will bounce!

What type of chemical reaction is rubber egg?
A chemical reaction occurs with between the vinegar and calcium carbonate. This reaction will create carbon dioxide. If you look closely, you may see tiny bubbles forming on the side of the eggshell and float to the surface. The reaction will eventually dissolve the eggshell.
