Egg Osmosis Lab Report
Hypothesis - If the glucose and starch solution stays within the beaker of water for a longer period of time, then more water will travel through the selectively permeable membrane due to the effects of diffusion on the solution.
If the level of sucrose within the solution increases, then the effects of osmosis will cause the change in mass to also increase due to higher concentrations of sucrose and the increased net movement of the water molecules within the solution.
Analysis - When the glucose and starch solution was placed in the beaker of water for 25 minutes, the solution changed color from white to purple black. My hypothesis was validated because the experiment resulted in a change in color due to the effects of diffusion on the …show more content…
In order to find the molarity of a chicken’s egg, students would first have to peel the shell of the egg in order to expose the semipermeable membrane. Then, students are required to place the egg into distilled water, which would act as the solvent and would cause the water to diffuse through the membrane and reduce the high concentration of sugars within the egg, which are the solutes.
Once the eggs have been submerged in water for 30 minutes, it is then time for the students to weigh the eggs before placing them in the sucrose solution. Weighing the eggs will allow students to calculate the initial mass, which will then be subtracted from the final mass once it has also been determined. Once students have found the initial mass of the eggs, they will then need to place the eggs in the sucrose solution and let it sit for 30 minutes. Doing so will fill the egg with proteins and sugars, which will give students a change in mass when they weigh the eggs and calculate the final mass. By subtracting the initial mass from the final mass, students will have received the molarity of the
