Why de-shelled egg shrinks in salt solution but shelled egg does not ?

Answer»

Eggs are COVERED with a semi-permeable MEMBRANE, which allows water MOLECULES to pass through. When you put a de-shelled egg into a salt water solution, water molecules pass from the egg, through this membrane, into the salt water solution … ... Since the egg is LOSING water, it will shrink.
