Osmosis Egg Lab Report
Title: Egg Osmosis
Purpose: The purpose for doing this lab is to show how Osmosis takes place. It is supposed to show how the eggs would react to a change in their environment. The way to show how it would change would be putting eggs in different controlled environments. Each of the eggs will be put in three different environments. Vinegar, Karo Syrup, and water. Each egg will have to have a documented reaction that each will have.
Introduction: The lab will allow us to see and explain each reaction occurring because of the osmosis. After a three day wait the eggs will be in their final stage or transformation. Using the eggs for showing osmosis is simple because we can see what is happening to the eggs membrane. During this process thee egg also only allowed certain substances to be able to pass through its membrane while at the same time blocking others from entering. Using clear containers allowed us to watch the eggs …show more content…
If there is any syrup left on the egg you are unable to remove run water over it as a low pressure then dry the egg. Document the size, weight, volume, and what the egg looks like again. Once done place egg back in clean cup and fill in with water and measure the volume again and wait 24 hours.
• Day 4: Remove water and dry egg. Record the size, weight, volume, and the way it looks for the final time.
Results:
When I put vinegar over the egg it began to bubble because of the carbon dioxide was being released and it also began to foam up just a little bit. As the acid from the vinegar was in contact with the egg is began to dissolve the eggs shell. The texture felt like a rubber substance. When the egg was placed in the syrup for the 24 hours it had shrank in size and didn’t feel like there was much protection from the yoke being broke. Surprisingly after putting it in the water over night is expanded and regained the rubber like
