Eggs soaked in distilled water will gain mass and appear dramatically swollen. Eggs in dilute salt solutions will gain mass, and even those in very concentrated solutions might gain mass. Eggs buried in salt or other dry media should lose mass.

Why does a vinegar soaked egg lose its shell and grow?

Soaking an egg in vinegar makes the egg either shrink or grow, most likely it will grow. When you put the egg into the vinegar, it has a chemical reaction, which makes it either shrink or grow bigger. Most of the time it will grow bigger, depending on what type of egg you have. It only takes 24 hrs to make the egg grow bigger or shrink, have fun!
