no because the when you dissolve the egg's shell you get the egg's semi-permeable membrane. A way to test this out is take an egg and stick it in 140 mL of vinegar and let it soak for 24 hours. Then you take 140 mL of water and put the egg in that. After 24 hours you see that the egg is "plump". Then you can put the egg in 140 mL of corn syrup. After 24 hours, you see that the egg looks "deflated". If you you were to try this with out the vinegar, then the egg's shape and mass would stay the same.

An egg shell is similar to a cell membrane in the way that it holds in the contents of the egg and prevents all the internal parts from leaking out.
