Egg Osmosis Experiment Jairus Abaga 8-73
Purpose To observe osmosis Place eggs in vinegar. (to remove shell) Measure weight of the eggs with a balance. Measure size of the eggs with tape measure. Place one egg in water then the other in corn syrup. Measure weight and size again.
Hypothesis Egg in corn syrup Weight of egg will increase Size of egg will be larger The shape of the egg will be a it will look the same
Hypothesis Egg in water Weight of egg will decrease Size of egg will get smaller The egg will look the same
Materials Eggs Beakers Balance String Measuring tape Vinegar Corn syrup Water
Observation Chart Corn syrup Before Weight-71.5g Size- 16cm After Water Weight- 71.4g Weight- 87.5g Size- 18.5
Observation Vinegar: Egg is bouncy Beaker was foamy after 24h Egg is squishy because shell is missing by the vinegar Water: Egg look fatter, when it was in water for 24h Syrup: Egg looks deflated and dented, when it was in corn syrup for 24h
Conclusion Water: Egg got larger has low concentration Water moved to high concentration(water) to low concentration(egg) Corn syrup Egg got smaller High concentration Water moved to high concentration (egg) to low concentration(syrup)
Conclusion High concentration to low concentration.
Conclusion Hypothesis: corn syrup Weight incorrect because it decrease Size incorrect because it decrease Shape incorrect because it was dented and deflated Water Weight incorrect because it increase Size incorrect because it increase Shape correct it look the same
