If the shell is still on not much will happen as an eggshell is basically impermeable. However, if the shell is removed by soaking in vinegar or other weak acid and the selectively permeable membrane beneath is uncovered, water will exit the egg causing it to shrink assuming the concentration of solute (salt in this case) is higher outside of the egg than inside the egg initially.
This movement of water is caused by osmosis. Osmosis is the natural tendency for water to move from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration across a selectively permeable membrane requiring only the kinetic energy available in the molecules. If the concentration of solute is higher outside of the egg, by consequence the concentration of water will be lower and the water will exit the egg, moving to the area of lower concentration until the concentration of water is equal both inside and outside the egg.

∙ 10y agoWhen you submerge an egg in vinegar, the acetic acid corrodes the calcium carbonate egg shell. When you place it in water, this would wash the acid off. In food colouring, the loosely remaining egg film would become stained.

Is a raw egg liquid?
Yes
The density of a raw egg shell?
The density of an (hen's) egg will vary with how fresh it is. For the shell is porous, and an older egg will have more air in it than a fresh one does. The egg will evaporate water through the shell, and since the shell is of a fixed shape, air will replace he transpired water.Now, you can become a scientist yourself, and measure the density of a fresh egg. Put a measuring jug (~= graduated cylinder) on a set of scales (preferably digital). Fill it about half way. Note the quantity of water in it, then add your fresh egg, and note the new weight and the new level of water in the jug.The difference between the two sets of data, (weight and volume of liquid), gives you the mass of the egg, and its volume.If your egg doesn't sink, it is not fresh!From his you can easily determine the density. Well done!
Egg drop project ideas that work?
A good egg drop project could be to see which type of egg falls the quickest (raw egg, boiled egg, and roughly boiled egg which is not quite boile nor raw). Then go onto a high structure, and time how long it takes for each egg to fall. By the way you'll need a partner for the experiment.
What does that mean when a egg stands up?
If you spin an egg and it stands up on end, it means it is hard boiled (solid inside), if it is raw it will wobble because it is liquid inside.
Why does vinegar make eggs rubbery?
Eggs contain something called "calcium carbonate". This is what makes them hard. Vinegar is an acid known as acetic acid. When calcium carbonate (the egg) and acetic acid (the vinegar) combine, a chemical reaction takes place and carbon dioxide (a gas) is released. This is what the bubbles are made of. The chemical reaction keeps happening until all of the carbon in the egg is used up -- it takes about a day. When you take the egg out of the vinegar it's soft because all of the carbon floated out of the egg in those little bubbles. Since the egg shell is made out of "calcium carbonate" and is "eaten" up by the acidic vinegar. Then leaving behind only the inner membrane and giving the egg a rubbery feeling. The egg shell is almost completely see-through and squishy. Immediately after we place the raw egg in the vinegar, bubbles start to form around it. After 24 hours the shell will be gone and portions of it will be floating on the surface. The egg remains intact because of the thin see-through membrane that is normally between the shell and the egg white. Also, the size of the egg has slightly increased. Vinegar is made of acetic acid and eggshells are made of calcium carbonate. Acetic acid reacts with the calcium carbonate and dissolves the shell. Next, the water from the vinegar moves through the membrane into the egg because the membrane is semipermeable. What this means is that some small particles can pass through the microscopic holes in the membrane, but other larger molecules cannot. Water molecules are small enough to move through the membrane and balance the water levels on each side.

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 are the steps if an egg is raw or boiled?
I am not sure what you are asking. But if it is how to boil an egg.. Put a pot of water on high heat until boiling. Put your eggs in for 15 mins and leave uncovered.
What happens if you put raw egg in the oven for an hour?
Nothing good or anything spectacularly bad. The egg would probably be inedible unless you are very hungry and the oven is not very hot.
What happens when you leave a raw egg in Pepsi?
If you ever leave a raw egg in Pepsi the egg's shell will soften and the egg will start to dissolve in the Pepsi and will create a layer of bacteria that will attract insects.
