Question

To observe osmosis,a student first deshelled two eggs by keeping them in Dil.HCL.he then placed one egg in water and the other in concert.salt solution.
(a)State the changes which he will observe in the two eggs.
(b)Explain the reason for the changes observed.

Answer 1

Hey
When the student puts the deshelled egg in water it shrinks as the osmotic pressure is less in water so to maintain equilibrium it shrinks.
But in case of salt solu. osmotic pressure is appropriately equal so we do not see any change.
Hope it helps :)
