Egg Osmosis Experiment

Ethan Courchene 816

PurposeThe purpose is to

observe osmosis in a cell

1) Place eggs in vinegar to remove the shell

2) Measure the weight of the egg using a balance

Purpose 3) Measure the size of

the eggs using string and measuring tape

4) Place one egg in corn syrup place the other in water

5) Weigh and measure the eggs again

Hypothesis Corn syrup eggo Size- It going to

expand in sizeo Weight- Its going to

weigh moreo Looks- Its going to

look orange and its going to be sticky

Water eggo Size- It will have the

same weighto Weight- It will have

the same weighto Looks- It will look the

way it did before

Materials Eggs Balance String Measuring tape Water Corn syrup Two beakers Vinegar

Observations 1)Bubbles from the

egg to top

2)More bubbles at top and eggs are floating

3)Still floating and foam at the top

Corn Syrup Water

Before Weight- 67 gSize- 16.1 cm

AfterWeight- 44 gSize- 13.2 cm

BeforeWeight- 77.4 gSize- 16 cm

AfterWeight- 91.9 gSize- 17.5 cm

Observations 1) After vinegar- The

egg looked cracked

2) After syrup 24 hours- It looked smaller and it looked shriveled

3) After water 24 hours- It looked bigger

Conclusion Water egg

Water went in the egg and made the egg larger

Corn syrup egg

Water inside of the egg left the egg and went to the corn syrup

ConclusionHypothesisWater Egg

o Size - Wrongo Weight - Wrongo Appearance - Wrong

Corn Syrup Egg

o Size - Wrongo Weight - Wrongo Appearance - Wrong
