Technically it would grow. When water is added to cells they expand to a certain point. I don't think that you would be able to tell the difference with your eyes but on a cellular level the cells inside the eggshell would expand from the water. Cells shrink as they lose water, but since the cells gain water they may slightly expand.

Why does a raw egg swell or shrink when placed in different solutions?

A raw egg without its shell but with its inner membrane intact will either swell or shrink when placed in a solution because of the concentration gradient. The membrane is semi-permeable. An egg will shrink if it is placed in a solution that has a higher solute concentration than inside it. It will swell if it is placed in a solution that has a lower solute concentration than inside the egg.


Osmosis and raw egg and salt?

When a raw egg is placed in a saltwater solution, osmosis occurs. The salt concentration outside the egg is higher than inside the egg, so water moves out of the egg to try to balance the concentration. This causes the egg to shrink and become dehydrated.


What happens when you put a raw egg in vinegar and then saltwater?

When you put a raw egg in vinegar, the acid in the vinegar dissolves the eggshell. This leaves you with just the egg membrane. When you then place the egg in saltwater, osmosis occurs where water moves from the egg to the saltwater or vice versa depending on the concentration gradient, causing the egg to shrink or swell.
