When an egg is placed in a hypertonic solution (higher solute concentration outside the egg than inside), water will move out of the egg through osmosis, causing the egg to lose mass. Conversely, if the egg is placed in a hypotonic solution (lower solute concentration outside the egg than inside), water will move into the egg through osmosis, causing the egg to gain mass.
