Egg Osmosis Experiment Joanna O. Nalam 8-73
Purpose To observe osmosis in a cell. Place egg in vinegar to remove shell. Measure weight of egg using a balance . Measure size egg using measuring tape.
Purpose To observe osmosis in a cell. To place one egg in water To place one egg in corn syrup
Hypothesis Corn Syrup Size: bigger Weight: heavier Looks like: bigger than the usual and slimy
Hypothesis • Water Size: the same Weight: the same Looks like: no difference
Materials Eggs Beaker Balance Measuring Tape String Vinegar Corn syrup water
Observations After 24 hrs. in vinegar: egg shell disappeared, squishy and bouncy After 24 hrs. in corn syrup: egg is dented and deflated After 24 hrs. in water: egg got fatter
Observations Corn Syrup Egg (after) Water Egg (after)
Conclusion The corn syrup egg got smaller because water moved out of the egg. This was due to the fact that the egg has a higher water concentration than the corn syrup. The water moved from higher concentration (egg) to lower concentration (corn syrup). The water egg got bigger because water moved into the egg. This was due to the fact that the egg had a lower concentration of water. The water moved from higher concentration (water) to lower concentration (egg).
Hypothesis Conclusion • Water Egg • Size - wrong Egg got bigger did not remain the same • Weight - wrong Egg got heavier not the same • Corn syrup Egg • Size - wrong Egg did not bloat up instead inflated • Weight - wrong Egg did not get heavier but lighter
