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?

When hydrogen chloride (HCl) is put in water, it ionizes to form hydronium ions (H3O+) and chloride ions (Cl-). This reaction releases energy in the form of heat and is exothermic. The resulting solution is known as hydrochloric acid.


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 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 an egg in tap water?

When you put an egg in tap water, it will sink to the bottom if it is fresh. Fresh eggs have denser contents, causing them to sink. If it floats, it is an indication that the egg is not as fresh and has probably started to spoil.
