Adding salt allows the water to boil at a higher temperature, so the eggs cook somewhat quicker.

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 do yodo to make an egg float?

What will happen if an unboiled egg put in the beaker with fresh and salt water why?

When an unboiled egg is placed in fresh water, it will swell as water moves into the egg through osmosis, potentially causing it to float due to the increased volume. In contrast, when placed in salt water, the egg will lose water to the surrounding solution, causing it to shrink and possibly sink, as the saltwater is denser than the egg. This behavior is due to the differences in solute concentration between the egg's contents and the surrounding solutions.


How is salt dissolving in water a physical change?

It's a physical change because salt stays the same when it is put in the water. Even though you can not see the salt, it's still there. This will also happen if you put sugar in water.


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 should happen when a egg has its shell carefully removed and is then placed in salt water?

When an egg with its shell removed is placed in salt water, the water will move from the egg into the salt water due to osmosis. This will cause the egg to shrivel and shrink in size as water leaves its membrane to balance out the concentration of salt inside and outside the egg.

If you take eggs from fresh water and put into salt water what would happen?

The babies will probably die in the egg and never hatch. If the egg hatches, the baby fish will be born dead or die on impact with what would be "alien" water to them.


What happens to an egg when placed in salt water?

The egg will decrease in size (water will exit) if the shell is removed by some means before the egg is placed in the solution. If the shell has not been removed, however, not much will happen as the shell is basically impermeable.


Does Egg Float In Salt Water Or Fresh Water?

Fresh eggs float in salt water because the density of salt water is more than the density of the egg. But fresh eggs do not float in fresh water because the density of water is less than that of the egg. Salt increases the density of water.
