Question

17. A 55-gram egg is placed in a pot. After the egg is boiled, which is most likely the mass of

the egg?

A. 50g

B. 55g

C. 110g

D. 100g

Answer 1

B. 55g

Step-by-step explanation:

When an egg is boiled, its albumin (the main component of its yolk) is denaturalized due to the high temperatures, making it apt for human consumption.

This is only a physical change and no mass is lost nor gained during this process.

That's why the correct answer is the original mass of the egg, in this case, option B.
