Soup When Left In Corn Syrup

My prediction is that as the concentration increases, the potato cell will lose more weight. This is because of the osmosis of water particles from the potato cell cytoplasm to the solution, resulting in a loss of weight. As the concentration decreases, the potato will lose less weight until a certain point where the osmosis of particles in and out of the potato cells will be equal. I also predict that as the salt

Hypothesis: If the egg is placed into water, then it will increase in size since water is a hypotonic liquid because it contains more water than the egg.

The primary purpose of the lab was to test and observe the effects of the process of osmosis on decalcified eggs. Before the process, the initial weights of the eggs were taken and noted. Two eggs were then immersed in a deionized water solution. The same was repeated to the other two solutions of 20% and 40% sucrose. The weights of the eggs were measured after 15 minutes to note the change in mass due to osmosis and again after 60 minutes to take the final measurement. Overall, while some human error might arise in the weighing process, care was taken in handling the eggs and during the weighing process. As such, it was found that the eggs behaved as predicted. It was found that the eggs placed in the hypertonic solution lost

The osmolarity of a solution is the concentration measured of a solute. To determine the concentration of a solution, one must first understand what osmosis is and how it works. Osmosis is the spontaneous passage or diffusion of water or other solvents through a semipermeable membrane according to the Britannica Encyclopedia. The semipermeable membrane is one that blocks the passages of dissolved substances such as solutes. This process, in more recent times, provides a more accurate study of how water can diffuse across a cell membrane when water molecules have a high concentration to an area in which they have a low concentration. It was originally studied in 1877 by plant physiologist, Wilhelm, Pfeffer. (Britannica Encyclopedia 2015).

How will the cell change as a result of being placed in different types of liquids? In this experiment we studied and tested the effects corn syrup, vinegar, and distilled water had an egg. When placed in vinegar the egg will double in size because the egg will soak up the vinegar. When placed in corn syrup the egg will shrink in size because the corn syrup will cause the egg to throw everything out.

The purpose to this experiment was to study the effect of osmosis in de-shelled chicken eggs in different percentages of sucrose solutions. Osmosis is the process, in which, water moves across a differentially permeable membrane. The eggs were soaked in vinegar to remove the outside hard shell but still leave the egg in its membrane. By placing the six de-shelled in different sucrose solutions, we tested the rate of osmosis. The eggs were placed in the solutions for an hour and weighed in fifteen minute intervals. Then, each weight was recorded and graphed. The results showed that the egg in the water solution gained the most weigh and the only other egg that gained a little weight was the one in the 10% solution. All the other eggs in the different solutions lost weight, even the unknown solution. According to the results the egg that was in the distilled water solution gained weight because it is the hypertonic solution. All the other eggs lost weight because they were placed in hypotonic solutions with different concentrations of sucrose. The egg that was placed in the higher concentration of sucrose lost the most weight. So, the higher the concentration of sucrose, the more water the egg lost.

As the sugary syrup is forced out of the hole, they form sugar threads that are about 50 micrometer in diameter. The thread is so fine that they solidify immediately. Because the sugar thread cools immediately upon exposing to open air, the sucrose molecules do not have enough time to regroup. The threads are not sugar crystals but are thousand strands of sugar glass, which is sucrose molecules that solidify without structure. However, if the cotton candy absorb moisture from the surrounding, the water will travel along the fiber of cotton candy, At some point, each droplet of water becomes saturated and that's why the cotton candy will become

The lid was then placed on the jar and an observation was made and recorded. Observations of the egg were then made after 12 hours and 24 hours had passed and the observations were recorded. After 24 hours had passed, the egg was removed from the syrup and rinsed with tap water and observations were made and recorded.

An egg has a semi-permeable membrane, thus processes like osmosis could occur. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from an area of higher water concentration to an area of a lower water concentration. Osmosis is important, especially for living organisms, as they help distribute nutrients in the body. An egg’s mass would change when it is soaked in different substances. The goal of this experiment was to investigate how an egg changes through osmosis. This experiment was done to show how substances affect the mass of an egg. To start off, an egg’s mass was measured by putting the egg in a beaker then placing it on a mass scale. The beaker was then filled with vinegar and left alone for twenty-four hours. After a day, the egg was taken

This is the final step of the experiment. The shell-less egg was now placed into a new cup, but very carefully, as the egg was more fragile than when it was soaked in vinegar. The egg in the new cup was then covered with water. The egg sat in the water for a 24 hour time period once again. During this 24 hour time period the eggs appearance and size were once again recorded. After the time period had completed, the egg was removed from the water and was very carefully patted dry. Since the egg was now swollen, extra care was needed when holding the egg. The swollen egg was placed on the scale on last time and its mass was recorded as M3.

In conclusion, the data that was collected helped tell us that the solutions greatly affected the cell of the egg because it caused the egg’s mass to increase than decrease. Also saw how the solutions played a role in the phospholipid bilayer and saw how it altered the shape of the egg. However, it does not support my hypothesis on the affect the egg would undergo onced placed in sugar and water but sugar was not used in this experiment, but water was used and it didn’t affect the shape of the egg, all it did was cause the egg to be in a isotonic state. According to Khan Academy (2017), states that a cell is isotonic “When the extracellular fluid has the same osmolarity as the cell, there will be no net movement in or out of the cell”. Which

When the 4 eggs were weighed it was found that out of the 4 solutions, 2 were hypotonic and 2 were hypertonic. The mass of 2 of the eggs increased and the other 2 decreased after 60 minutes in the various solutions. Out of the 4, the most hypotonic solution was the distilled water; and the most hypertonic solution was the solution with 2.0M glucose. The

In order to conduct this experiment, a hypothesis had to be made on what would happen to the egg when it is placed in water and the question was answered by saying that it would alter in shape because of osmosis. Osmosis is when water moves from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration. Then after making our hypothesis, the experiment was started by grabbing the egg from the bucket of vinegar with our hands. Second, the egg had to be taken to the sink and gently rubbing the egg with the pad of our thumb to clear off the outside, while the water was poured over it. Third, the mass of the egg had to be recorded , which was our initial mass, by putting it on the mass scale. Fourth, a cup was filled with water

- As the sucrose solution increased, the mass decreased, and as the sucrose solution decreased, the mass increased Evaluation: I followed the plan correctly; I believe I gained accurate and sufficient enough results to conclude the experiment, and to prove my prediction. To make this experiment better, I believe that I could have done more than one experiments to see if anything has gone wrong, but since

Our dependant variables were mass of duck and mass of food and floating volume displacement. The control duck for this experiment a duck named peepers. We tried to measure the volume of our ducks. That did not work and was not accurate. First off we did not start measuring the volume until we were ⅔ in to experiment. Also the duck splashed around and the overall amount of water in the box decreased a significant amount. This caused the reading to be smaller that they should have been also the duck splashed around so it was difficult to get a good reading with the water level changing all the time. In addition the markings were not precise enough to get a measurement for day to day volume gain. Also some of the data points may be inaccurate due to human error. If you were to do this experiment yourself I would suggest finding a different way to measure the volume of the duck. Also I suggest you use a digital scale, it will make measuring the duck much
