The egg in HCl reacts violently as the calcium carbonate on the outer surface of egg is dissolved. This is what actually happens :
The egg in the hydrochloric acid is lighter, because the gas bubbles provide a floatation device, than the acid so it stayed at the top. The bubbles occurred because the calcium carbonate on the egg shell reacted with the acid. Carbon dioxide bubbles are produced, causing the egg to rotate and spin. The carbon dioxide bubbles on top of the eggs break. In the meantime more bubbles are attached to the bottom of the egg. These bubbles now cause the egg to spin and repeat the process.
The bubbles attached to the egg also made it less dense.
After this experiment, the egg will not have a shell. It will have dissolved.
then when you place this egg in water, Osmosis takes place. Well, the egg is 90% water. So now when you keep the egg in water it kind of pushes the egg membrane. Basically, water is flowing into the egg and the egg swells as the water enters it.

What happens to HCl when it is put in water?
It dissociates into ions by this equation: HCl + H2O --> H3O+ + Cl-
What happens when you put acid into a solution?
Putting an acid in water will result in dissociation. For example, when hydrochloric acid is put in water, HCl becomes H+ (hydronium ions) and Cl- (chloride ions). The degree to which the acid dissociates determines it's strength.
What happens if you put 20g of magnesium to hydrochloric?
Formation of magnesium chloride: Mg + 2 HCl -> MgCl2 + H2
How do you rust iron with Hydrochloric acid?
You take an iron ball and put HCL in it and then wait for a week and you will see what happens
What happens to an egg when placed in salt water?
The egg will decrease in size (water will exit) if the shell is removed by some means before the egg is placed in the solution. If the shell has not been removed, however, not much will happen as the shell is basically impermeable.

What happens if you you put an egg in water?
It will get wet.
What happens if you put an egg in sparking water?
It will get wet.
What happens when an egg is put into salt water?
It floats.
What happens to a boiled egg when you put it in water?
I think that the egg shrivels up
What happens if you put an egg in hot water?
the outside of the egg will be hard because the egg will be boiling
What happens when you put a egg in salt water?
The egg should have its water or substance in the egg come out through the cell membrane. :)
What happens when you put a raw egg in vinegar and then saltwater?
The vinegar will disintegrate the egg shell and the salt will suck out all the water and shrivel the egg.
What happens to the corn syrup when an egg without shell is put in to it?
the egg decreases in mass because the water moves out of it through the membrane, this happens because water goes from low high to concentration. this is called osmosis.
What happens when you put an egg in tap water?
When an egg is submerged under tap water it will float. This is because water is more dense than the egg.
What happens if you put an egg in salt water for a week?
If you put an egg in salt water for a week, the egg will begin to undergo osmosis. The salt concentration in the water will cause water to move out of the egg, resulting in the egg shrinking and becoming smaller in size. The egg's membrane may also become translucent or appear to be semi-transparent.
What happens when you put egg in soda?
the egg will turn brown
