    After removing the hard shell of an egg by dissolving in dil HC1, a semipermeable membrane is visible. If such an egg is kept in a saturated solution of common salt, the size of the egg will

    A)  shrink

    B)  grow

    C)  remain the same

    D)  first shrink and then grow larger

    Correct Answer: A

Since saturated solution of common salt has higher concentration than solution of \[\text{NaCl,}\]solvent flows outside from the egg and the size of the egg will shrink.
