Question

• why does an egg Turns to solid from liquid state on boiling or heating

( Value based Questions )

• Note :- Need a proper answer

Answer 1

The albumen present in the egg is a helix shaped protein.
When the egg is heated , the strands of the protein gets unfolded and long strands are left behind. These strands crosslink with each other due to which albumen becomes solid.

This is a type of DENATURATION OF PROTEIN in which the primary structure of the protein is destroyed and the protein loses its vital values.

Hope it helps....

Answer 2

Heya. !!!!


here is the answer,

_________________


=>Egg white consists of proteins. The heated proteins unwind and join loosely with others. The egg becomes firm, changing from liquid to semi solid or solid state.

=>The egg is comprised of complex proteins which heating loses hydrogen bond (weak bond) results in cross-linked protein hence the egg gets hardened on boiling,
the schematic representation is given above,
