Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Answer. Answer: An egg with a dissolved shell is placed in pure water for 48 hours. Water will move in and out of the cell equally, and the cell with neither shrink nor swell.
Detailed explanation-2: -If water were to pass into a shell-less egg through the membrane, the egg would swell as water enters the cells and disrupts the delicate balance between the concentration of solutes inside and outside of the egg.
Detailed explanation-3: -Osmosis equalizes – or makes the concentration of water on both sides of the egg membrane the same. This means the egg will swell as the water moves inside and get larger. You can even color the inside of your egg if you soak it in some water with food coloring.
