A de-shelled egg is placed in pure water for some time. What do you observe? Why?

Question

Arun · Answer

The shell of an egg is a semi-permeable membrane that can allow water molecules and other small molecules to move in and out of the shell. When the egg is placed in pure water, water molecules will move into the egg through the process of osmosis causing the egg to grow lager
