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!

∙ 9y agoThe density of a boiled egg is around 1.02 times the density of tap water. The density of a raw egg is about 1.06 times the density.

∙ 16y agoThe average egg weighs approximately 57 grams or two ounces. Of this weight, the shell constitutes 11 percent, the albumen 58 percent, and the yolk 31 percent.

What happens if you put a naked egg in vinegar?
When you put vinegar in a naked egg the shell will decrease its shell then turning into a smelly egg
Describe the internal environment of an egg?
From the outside in we have the: blume- a water proof coating to protect the shell The Shell outer shell membrane inner shell membrane thin albumin or egg whites thick albumin or egg whites the chalaza that looks like white cords that run from the eggyolk through the egg whites at both the top and bottom of the egg an egg yolk and on top of the egg yolk the germ disk.
What is the purpose of the egg and vinegar experiment?
"The presence of the acid in vinegar, forced the egg shell to soften, because of the chemical reaction of the acid and calcium carbonate in the egg shell." I edited it a little for you.
Infer what part of the egg controlled water's movement into and out of the egg?
The egg shell
Do all eggs float in salty water?
First, it must define how salty it is, a salty water could have density between 1 g/cm3 to 1.2 g/cm3 at saturated concentration. The chicken egg is 1.04 g/cm3 with some little variation and would sink when the salt concentration reach about 6 - 7%. Egg of different species would have different density but I had no data if there is any egg species that may float in saturated salt concentration or not. Far as I knew, the egg shell for chicken is around 2 g/cm3 and it would mean any animal with more shell thickness per volume would had higher density.
Is the shell of a raw egg harder than a hard boiled egg?
No, boiling doesn't change the shell.
What is the density of a egg?
boiled 1.02* raw 1.06*
Why should you wash your hands after touching raw egg?
because it is bacterta
What are the components that can be separated in a raw egg?
The shell, yolk and the white can be separated.
Are boiled eggs goodnutrition than unboiled eggs or raweggs?
The shell of a boiled egg is the same strength as a raw egg. Since the egg has been boiled, if its shell is cracked no egg will run out, but the same force will crack the shell.
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.
Is a raw egg more dense than a boiled egg?
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.
What happens if you put an egg in cola for a day?
Depends, shell or no shell? Then i answer.
What happen to egg RAW when you put into vinegar in 72 hours?
The calcium dissolves leaving an egg with a soft skin holding it together instead of a shell. This takes a few hours, but if you plan to test it, I recommend putting the egg in vinegar and placing it in the fridge overnight. When you wake up it will be completed.
What will happen if the boiled egg is put in to coca cola?
Immerse a raw egg, still in it's shell, into coca cola (or vinegar) and the shell will slowly dissolve away over several days. Once carefully removed from the liquid, the egg's raw contents is held together by the skin that lay beneath the shell, and the egg is now rather wobbly.
Would a raw egg or a cooked egg break faster if you dropped the egg?
A raw egg would break 'faster' but it depeneds on what you mean by faster. If you mean it would break easier then yes, it would be a raw egg. This is because a cooked egg's calcium shell has become harder, thus the term 'hard boiled egg'.
Why egg did not break on concrete floor?
the foes is all over the egg like wen u put your back on a bead of nails
