Is a raw egg more dense than a boiled egg?

Answer 1

The density of an egg that I boiled was 1.02 * density of tap water.

The density of a raw egg was 1.06 * the density of tap water.

The mass of the egg did not change so the volume increased slightly.

With a raw egg and a boiled egg covering in water, if you add salt and mix slowly you find that the boiled egg will float first and if you continue to add salt you get both to float.

Interestingly, recipes for making a brine solution for food preparation frequently tell you to put a raw egg in water and add enough salt in solution to make the egg float. This assures enough salt for a good brine solution.

Answer 2

No,

A boiled egg is more dense than a raw egg.

EXPERIMENT:

If enough salt is added to 4 cups of water the egg will float.

I added 16 tsp and the RAW egg floated. And i used about 25 tsp for

the BOILED egg to float. Therefore a boiled egg is more dense than a raw egg.

Answer 3

They are the same because when a raw egg turns into a hard boiled egg nothing can get through the shell. A hard boiled egg might feel heavier because it is more dense. It's kinda like a physical illusion. The density will change, but the weight and mass won't. If you don't understand, say this phrase out loud: "If you push a rock up a mountain, the mass and weight do not change."

Answer 4

I believe the inside of an egg is a closed system, therefore the Law of Conservation of Mass would dictate that they both weigh the same.

Answer 5

A boiled egg is cooked and a raw egg is not cooked.

Answer 6

They wigh the same.

Answer 7

a boiled egg seems heavier

Answer 8

Raw egg.
