Experiment:

3

Procedure:
What you need:
-Four raw eggs
-Four cups of white vinegar
-beakers/cups for the eggs
What to do:
1. Put the 4 eggs in each cup with one cup of vinegar. Let that sit for 24 hours. This will make the egg shell come off or dissolve. If the egg shell is not off, put the egg in fresh vinegar. Then, carefully wash the egg in water and measure each egg using a string to measure length and width using cm. Then put each egg in either, vinegar, corn syrup, a thin solution, and one of your own.
2. Now set them aside and observe and write down your data. Do 12 hour intervals record data before, during and after the experiment. Draw pictures and record results every 12 hours also, be sure to include how it feels, smells, looks like, and color. The hours should add up to be 36 hours in total.

Research and Background:
Diffusion: is the movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Diffusion is driven by molecules kinetic energy until equilibrium is reached. The random movement of the molecules continues even at the equilibrium.
Osmosis: Is the diffusion of water across a membrane.
Hypertonic: Water diffuses out of the cell, causing it shrink.
Hypotonic: Water diffuses into the cell, causing it to swell.
Isotonic: Water diffuses into and out of the cell at equal rate, causing the cell to stay the same size.

Egg #1
Egg in the vinegar solution
Problem: What will happen if I put an egg in vinegar?
Hypothesis: If I put an egg in vinegar, then the egg will swell.
Observations: In the beginning of the experiment the egg felt weird and squishy, the color was white-ish/yellow-ish, there was some bubbles, and the egg still looked the

    The corn syrup is hard to say as it grey in mass but stayed the same in circumference, 13.5 cm, so the solution may either be an isotonic solution (Proving our second hypothesis correct) or hypotonic as it grew in mass. Their may be human error which affected the results such writing information incorrectly, messing up measurements, or using different types of materials than those needed. Many people may have also put their egg in vinegar for different amounts of time than the others, also the freshness of the egg may have accounted for the process. Many solutions had outcomes that were clear but this egg, the corn syrup egg was still a little confusing. Either way, this showed how the membrane of the egg can let certain things pass as residue was left out of the beakers on both eggs, along with the majority of the other class’s eggs, changing the egg’s size,shape, color,ass, and…

    Egg Osmosis

    Many might think that an egg is made up of cells, when in actuality and egg itself is a cell. An egg has several main parts, including the egg shell (that acts as the cell membrane), the egg yolk and the egg white. There’s also a tiny white mass that is very important, it’s called the ovum, and it is the living part of the cell. If a hen lays an egg without mating with a cock then the ovum will not develop. If the hen does mate, then the egg will be fertile and it develops into a little chick. The egg being worked with in this experiment is not fertile (Lawrence Hall of Science 2009).…

    Diffusion is the random movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. This is considered a passive form of transportation because it does not require any additional energy to transport the molecules. In the body, carbon dioxide and oxygen can diffuse across cell membranes.…

    Osmosis in Egg

    • 1847 Words
    • 8 Pages

    The higher the concentration of sodium chloride (NaCl), the lower the mass change of the quail’s egg after being immersed in the sodium chloride solution for 24 hours. In low concentration of sodium chloride solution, the solution will be hypotonic to the egg because the concentration of solute in sodium chloride is lower than the concentration of solute in water. Water molecules move from hypotonic to hypertonic solution. Thus, water diffuses in the egg membrane by osmosis and the mass of egg increases. In high concentration of sodium chloride solution, the solution will be hypertonic to the egg because the concentration of solute in sodium chloride is higher than the concentration of solute in water. Water molecules move from hypotonic to hypertonic solution. Thus, water diffuses out from the egg membrane by osmosis and the mass of egg decrease.…

    Egg Shell Research Paper

    Before the shells were in the vinegar the first shell weighed about 1.15g the second shell was 2.6g and finally the third was 1.41g. But after the week the shells lost some of that weight like the first one was 1.15g but ended up with .78g the 2nd 1.42g and the third .45 the lightest of our shells. Now it turns out that the reason why shells dissolved from the vinegar is that vinegar has 4% acetic acid. If you soak an egg shell in vinegar you start a chemical reaction that dissolves the calcium carbonate shell. The acetic acid reacts with the calcium carbonate in the eggshell and releases carbon dioxide gas that you see as bubbles on the shell.…

    We took our 600 mL beaker with the egg in it and allowed the egg to soak overnight in vinegar to dissolve the shell. On day two the vinegar was removed, the egg observed, and data was recorded. Following these actions, the egg was then soaked over night in syrup. It was mine and my partner's mistake that we did not make a new hypothesis until we had already seen what had taken place the next day.…
