By solute I hope you mean more substance...If that's what you mean then definitely the egg. Distilled water has been filtered to remove as much solute as possible.
An intact chicken egg? It will get wet...you are probably supposed to answer something to indicate you know that distilled water is hypotonic and the osmotic differential would cause water to move into the egg to dilute the greater concentration of solute inside and then state that 20% salt water is hypertonic and will cause water to move out of the egg...in that short of a period of time, you won't observe any water movement through the shell. Additionally, you might consider that, to get a 20% sodium chloride solution, you will have to heat the water to the point that it will cook the egg.
The egg was larger after remaining in water. Water has a lower concentration of solute molecules than the vinegar. Therefore, more water diffused to an area of higher concentration of solute particles.
This is answered in dot point form because this is the best way to answer your questions in VCE biology -A decalcified egg that is placed in a hypertonic solution will mean that the solute concentration outside of the egg is higher than the solute concentration in the egg cells -This means that due to the solute not being able to move through the semi-permeable membrane, osmosis will take place -Water molecules will move out of the egg to equalize the concentration of the solute outside of the cells and the solute concentration within the cells -Therefore, this will cause a decrease in the mass of the decalcified egg (the more hypertonic a solution is that the decalcified egg is placed into, the greater the percentage of mass loss there will be due to the increase in osmosis) Hope this helped ^-^

An egg placed in distilled water will expand more than an egg placed in the salt solution because thee water concentration of the water in the beaker is greater the the water concentration of the egg.
Egg is neither solvent or solute but a colloid suspension of hydrophillic proteins in water.

the egg becomes smaller
the eggs mass will change the egg will have more mass than before
The experiment demonstrates osmosis, which is the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration. In this case, the sugar solution had a higher solute concentration than the egg, causing water to move out of the egg and shrinking it. Placing the egg in water, with a lower solute concentration, allowed water to move back into the egg and restore its original size.
The egg was larger after remaining in water. Water has a lower concentration of solute molecules than the vinegar. Therefore, more water diffused to an area of higher concentration of solute particles.
The salt water contains dissolved ions and thus it has a high density. As a result, objects are more buoyant in salt water than fresh water, and more likely to float on it.

When an egg is placed in a hypertonic solution (higher solute concentration outside the egg than inside), water will move out of the egg through osmosis, causing the egg to lose mass. Conversely, if the egg is placed in a hypotonic solution (lower solute concentration outside the egg than inside), water will move into the egg through osmosis, causing the egg to gain mass.
