Naked Egg Lab Report
When Different Colors of Food Coloring Are Soaked into a Naked Egg, Will the Mass Change Depending on the Color of the Ink after 7 Days?
The Purpose The purpose of initiating this lab was to test how different chemicals in the outer fluid affects the osmotic properties of a naked egg.
Background Information In order to complete this experiment, one of the most important things you need to know how to do is how to take the outer “shell” layer off of the egg. The egg shells contain an element known as calcium carbonate. This element can be turned into carbon dioxide when combined with acetic acid. You can find acetic acid in vinegar. {Guenther, Leanne. “Soft Shelled Eggs.” Kidzone Science, Kidzone Science, 1998, www.kidzone.ws/science/egg.htm.}

{Online, Biology. “Osmosis.” Osmosis, Biology Online, 25 Dec. 2016, 2:27, www.biology-online.org/dictionary/Osmosis.} This means that water will flow through the naked egg’s outer membrane from the outside to the inside. This is because inside the egg has a lower concentration of water than outside the egg. Since osmosis is based around mainly water and substances with extremely low acidity, we decided to use plain water as our control, and add the food coloring to the cups already filled with …show more content…
The hypothesis that was posed was that, “If naked eggs are soaked in two different colors of food coloring for different periods of time, then the mass of the egg will differ, and the red food coloring will make the egg overall bigger than the blue.” However, the data proved that the color of the dye does not affect the osmotic properties of a naked egg in food dye. Both the red and blue food dye at the end of the experiment ended around 100 grams (blue at 99.86, and red at 100.84). By just this, you would tell you that red food coloring caused more of a gain in mass. However, you can tell on the graph above that the increase and decrease of egg mass between days did not differ enough to make that assumption. Because the original red egg was larger at the beginning, this probably explains why it ended up bigger than the blue at the end of the

    My name is Madison Johnson. I am in the 9th grade. I am in Mrs. Logan’s biology class. I am doing my project on “The Magic Floating Egg”. Eggs sink in normal tap water and I am testing whether or not changing the density of water will make the egg float. I was looking at projects on sciencebuddies.org and I saw that multiple people had done this. I am trying to prove that when you add a certain amount of salt to water, it will make it more dense. I took pictures of the results. This information can be useful because we can test the density of salt water versus the density of normal tap water..…

    The lid was three centimeters so the container with the lid was fifteen centimeters. What I did was I took some fluff out of the jar. Then I placed the egg inside the container with some fluff. After that I put the egg in the fluff and put the other fluff on top of it and buried the egg in fluff. I knew that if I got the egg to stay in motion it would never be in motion. When I dropped the container the fluff protected the egg like walls. The egg did not break because the fluff acted as a block to when the container hits the ground. The fluff was pushing against the egg so the egg wouldn’t bounce around in the container and hit the walls. I dropped the egg right…

    Throughout the six days of recording data, osmosis did occur. We soaked our egg (Eggar) in “Super Chill Peach Sparkling Water.” Eggar gain weight as he grew larger. He soaked up the water when he was in the sparkling water, so he could have an equilibrium. He was squishy, smooth, and (slightly) transparent too. On the last day Eggar was soaked in water, and he then lost weight. When we took him out of the water we noticed we had an air bubble inside of him. The liquid started with a higher water content, then due to osmosis, they had an equilibrium. The reason he must have lost weight when in water is Eggar had a higher water…

    LITERATURE: The acids in the vinegar make the shell deteriorate. Eggs contain "calcium carbonate"(this is what makes it hard), and vinegar is an acid. When they both combine a chemical reaction takes place, and carbon dioxide is released. This is what bubbles are made of. The vinegar makes the egg soft because it takes all the carbon out. Since the egg shell is made out of "calcium carbonate" and is "eaten" up by the acidic vinegar. It leaves behind the inner membrane and gives it the rubbery effect.…
