Hey dude......
Deshelled eggs are prepared by placing the egg in dilute HCL acid for 10 hours. Now the egg is covered with only semipermeable membrane. When this is placed in a salt solution (hypertonic solution), exosmosis occurs and the egg shrinks due to loss of water to the surrounding.
If the water concentration inside the cell is higher than the surrounding medium, the medium is said to be hypertonic solution. Here, the number of water molecules diffusing out will be more than the molecules entering the cell. The cell will shrink due to exosmosis.
Hope this may help u.....

The egg will 'swell up' due to inner movement of water.
EXPLANATION:
Osmosis is defined as the 'movement of water' from higher concentration of solid to lower concentration of solid through the "semi-permeable membrane". It is a natural process. Here, the shell of egg acts as a "semi-permeable membrane" and the egg as a cell.
Due to osmosis process, the water moves into egg shell as the shell contains higher concentration of solute as compared to the distilled water surrounding it.
