Exploring Osmosis Through Egg Experiment: Effects of Water and Corn Syrup

This osmosis experiment investigates how eggs behave in different solutions. By placing one egg in water and another in corn syrup after initial treatment in vinegar, we measure changes in weight and size. Observations indicate that the egg in water becomes larger and fatter, while the one in corn syrup shrinks and deflates. Our initial hypotheses about weight and size outcomes were proven incorrect for both scenarios, demonstrating that osmosis causes water to move into the egg in water while it exits in corn syrup.

  1. Tinille Medina 8-73 Egg Osmosis Experiment

  2. Purpose • - To observe osmosis in a cell. STEPS: 1. Place egg in vinegar 2. Measure weight of egg 3. Measure size of egg

  3. Purpose (cont.) 4. Place one egg in water, other in corn syrup 5. Weight and measure eggs

  4. Hypothesis • Water egg: • Weight • the same • Size • smaller/tinier • Looks • fatter

  5. Hypothesis (cont.) • Corn Syrup egg: • Weight • heavier • Size • wide/large • Looks • different

  6. Materials • Eggs • Beakers • Balance • String • Measuring tape • Vinegar • Corn Syrup • Water

  7. Observation • Vinegar: • bouncy • squishy • a large amount of foam at top.

  8. Observation • Egg in Corn Syrup: • dented • deflated • Egg in Water(24 hrs.): • fatter • larger

  9. Conclusion • Egg in Water: • got fatter, larger • water, in egg • H.C (water) to L.C (egg)

  10. Conclusion • Corn Syrup Egg: • got smaller • water, out the egg • H.C (egg) to L.C (corn syrup)

  11. My hypothesis is incorrect because; • Water Egg: • Weighed more (wrong) • Size, got bigger (wrong) • Look, fatter (right) • Corn Syrup Egg: • Weighed, less (wrong) • Look, became soggy (wrong) • Size, smaller (wrong) Conclusion
