Osmosis Experiment With Naked Egg

Are naked eggs, eggs with no shell? What? You may think I am speaking about a hard boiled egg, but, no. Boiled eggs have their centers heated making the shell easily come off. Naked eggs have their shells taken off with one simple ingredient everyone has: vinegar. The acetic acid inside the vinegar strips the shell, calcium carbonate, away from the egg, the chemical formula is: CaCO3 (s) + 2 HC2H3O2 (aq)→Ca(C2H3O2)2 (aq) + H2O (l) + CO2 (g) (Imagination Toledo, 2017) Once the egg has been separated from its shell, the only thing keeping the liquid goo inside is the thin, flexible, semipermeable membrane. What would happen to naked eggs if they were submerged in different solutions? Before diving into the experiment it is helpful to understand a few terms we will use along the way. Osmosis is the movement of a solvent (as water) through a semipermeable
