Which of these statements best explains why the eggs that were soaked in sugar-water and saltwater solutions both decreased in mass?a. Because these eggs were placed in solutions that had higher concentrations of

dissolved materials than were inside the eggs, water diffused from inside the egg into the liquid.

b. Because these eggs were placed in solutions that had lower concentrations of dissolved materials than were inside the eggs, water diffused from inside the egg into the liquid.

c. Because these eggs were placed in solutions that had higher concentrations of dissolved materials than were inside the eggs, water diffused from the liquid into the egg.

d. Because these eggs were placed in solutions that had lower concentrations of dissolved materials than were inside the eggs, water diffused from the liquid into the egg.

• Place three raw eggs in a beaker filled with vinegar.• Wait for the vinegar to dissolve the hard outer eggshells. The

inside of each egg will be surrounded by a thin membrane.• Measure and record the initial mass of each egg without its

shell.• Fill one beaker with distilled water, one with a• sugar-water solution, and one with a saltwater solution. Place

one of the eggs in each beaker and soak for 24 hours.• Measure and record the final mass of each egg that has been

soaking in its liquid.• Compare the initial and final mass measurements for each egg.
