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.

What happens to an egg when you soak it in water?
When you soak an egg in water, the process of osmosis can occur, especially if the eggshell is intact and the water is less concentrated than the contents of the egg. This can cause water to move into the egg through the porous shell, potentially making the egg swell. If the eggshell is broken or if the egg is raw, the contents may leak out into the water. In the case of an unbroken shell, the egg remains largely intact while absorbing some water.
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.
What happens to a raw egg that is put in rubbing alcohol?
nothing happens
What happens when a raw egg is put in vinigar?
Jesus appears
What happens if you put a raw egg into white pepper powder?
you get a goo of egg and pepper powder.
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.
What happens if you put an egg in a coffee?
If you put a raw egg in hot coffee, it will cook and solidify due to the high temperature. If you put a raw egg in cold coffee, it will not cook but will sink to the bottom. Mixing a raw egg with cold coffee will create a strange and unappetizing texture.
What is the raw egg challenge?
its where u crack a raw egg and u put in a cup and then you put it in your mouth and sallow it
What would happen after 5 minutes when a deshelled raw egg is put in water?
After 5 minutes, a deshelled raw egg in water will absorb water through osmosis, causing the egg to swell and expand. This occurs because the egg's membrane is semipermeable, allowing water to pass through. The egg will increase in size as it continues to absorb water.
How much percent water is there in a raw chicken egg?
A raw chicken egg contains about 75% water.
What happens to a raw egg when left in mixture of water and vinegar?
When a raw egg is left in a mixture of water and vinegar, the vinegar dissolves the eggshell which is made of calcium carbonate. This leaves the egg membrane intact, causing it to become rubbery and transparent.
Will water make a raw egg bounce higher?
No, water will not make a raw egg bounce higher. The height a raw egg bounces is determined by its shell's strength and the surface it lands on, not by the presence of water.
Put deshelled raw egg in water?
When you place a deshelled raw egg in water, it will typically sink due to its higher density compared to water. However, if the egg is not fresh, it may float because of the gas buildup inside the egg as it spoils. The water can also help to preserve the egg's quality if kept at a cool temperature. Always ensure to check the freshness of the egg before use, regardless of the water test.
Why does a raw egg float in water?
A raw egg floats in water because its density is lower than that of water. This means that the egg is lighter than the water it displaces, causing it to float.
