A student put two eggs A and B in HCI solution. After 5 minutes he took them outfor weighing but egg dropped in water accidentally. The student was able to takeit out after 30 minutes. He weighed it. Its weight was 40.33 grams. Weight of egg"B" was also 40.33 grams. Islamian genius told him that if both eggs have beendropped in water, the weight of egg "B" would have been
Correct answer: A. greater than that of egg "A"
- A. greater than that of egg "A"
- B. less than that of egg "A"
- C. equal to that of egg "A"
- D. unaffected instead
Explanation
When an egg is placed in a hypertonic solution (such as hydrochloric acid), water moves out of the egg through osmosis. This causes the egg to lose weight. The student's observation that the egg weighed 40.33 grams after being in the HCI solution for 30 minutes confirms this effect.Now, let's consider the scenario where both eggs (A and B) are dropped in water. Since water is hypotonic, it would flow into the eggs through osmosis. Egg B, which was accidentally dropped in water, would gain weight due to the water entering it. Therefore, the weight of egg B would be greater than that of egg A.

About Atomic Structure
Atomic structure covers the discovery of the proton, Planck's quantum theory, hydrogen emission spectra and the evidence for quantized energy levels. You will use quantum numbers to describe orbitals, distinguish s, p, d and f orbital shapes, and write electronic configurations, including the correct order of electron filling.
