When you soak a raw egg into vinegar over two days, the vinegar will dissolve the eggshell.
Eggshell is mostly made up of calcium carbonate and that is the reason it is hard and vinegar contains acetic acid. So when vinegar gets mixed with the egg, the acetic acid which is present in the vinegar dissolves the shell of the egg and the egg becomes elastic. The egg turns out to be a funny one which looks like a Jelly. And if you do this same experiment with a boiled egg, the shell gets dissolved and the egg becomes elastic like a rubber ball.
